If you're an employee of a practice, you should check with your employer to see if they provide any type of indemnity and what is included and excluded. MIPS can assist you in understanding your level of cover. We'll provide a personalised quote specific to your practice. For detailed descriptions of each membership category see the Member Handbook.
