Call our teamWhat is Locum Insurance & Absence Insurance?
Locum Insurance and Absence Insurance from MIC provides cover for GP Partners, Managing Partners, Salaried GP’s, Practice Managers and other members of staff in the event of an accident, illness or absence. There are various levels of benefit, deferred periods and cover you can select when deciding upon the locum insurance and absence insurance cover you need.
The template for Locum Insurance as you know was designed by MIC over 20 years ago and has evolved to include cover such as maternity and suspension cover as standard. Our unique policy has been designed specifically to provide the benefit you choose in the event of accident, sickness or any of the other insured events. We only need evidence of absence, whether this is spent on Locum costs or covering additional ‘in house sessions’. It is up to you how you use the money.
Why take out Locum Insurance & Absence Insurance?
Quite simply it provides funds for the practice to employ a Locum in the event of a member of its staff being incapacitated and unable to perform their normal duties within the practice. Alternatively you can stand the costs involved and be your own insurer – NOT RECOMMENDED.
Can I insure the full cost of employing a Locum?
Yes. You select the weekly benefit for each insured person – the benefit you choose does not have to be the same for all. You are able to structure benefit amounts and deferred periods to work with current contracts or partnership agreements.
Do I have to employ a Locum?
No. Whether you go through an agency, employ a retired GP or the practice partners absorb the extra work load the Locum Insurance benefit that you chose will be paid to you in full irrespective of how you deal with the absence(s).

Testimonial From a Practice Manager in London: I would like to recommend MIC for their Locum Insurance policy. I changed from our previous Insurance Company about 9 months ago and saved almost £4,000 on the annual premium! In addition we have had a partner off sick and they have dealt with our claim and subsequent payments extremely efficiently.
Testimonial From a Practice Manager in Lancashire: We have changed our Surgery Insurance to MIC and we have our Locum Insurance with them also. They were the cheapest and appear to be very approachable, open and honest. No experience of claims to date.
