in may 1988, the kansas medical society (kms) house of delegates authorized the formation of a mutual professional liability insurance company for kansas physicians. as a result, in june of 1989, kansas medical mutual insurance company (kammco) began operations for the purpose of: -- creating market competition. -- stabilizing insurance rates. -- developing a highly effective, professional claims philosophy. -- assuring a sustainable source of professional liability insurance. in the thirty years that have followed, kammco has established a reputation of being pro-healthcare professional in the defense of claims, tireless in its efforts as an advocacy organization, and proactive in the development of loss prevention resources and educational opportunities. kammco’s success as a financially secure, operationally sound, relentless advocate presents the organization the ability to reinvest in the healthcare industry in a manner which benefits both its members and the patients they serve. protection of members is the foundation upon which kammco was constructed.
