WDIA: A Year of Change Results in Gratitude
Matt French
Director of Insurance, Washington Dentists' Insurance Agency
About 17 years ago, I accepted a position at Washington Dentists’ Insurance Agency (WDIA) after five years with WSDA. For all this time, I have enjoyed serving the dental community and felt that the dentists I work with are an extension of my own family. Like family, WDIA is here to support you for all the changes that come into your life, like a new baby, purchasing or expanding your practice. With every change, insurance is needed and WDIA is here to assist you with the right coverage at a reasonable price.
These last several years brought challenges to the dental profession in Washington with dentists struggling to find new ways to continue to serve their patients, staff, and families. Through these challenges, WDIA has remained committed to our efforts to serve the dental community. Our relationships with dentists are built on trust and on our desire to provide you with peace of mind in the insurance products you purchase through WDIA.
As part of WDIA’s continued service to the dental community, we made a change in the professional liability coverage we offer dentists. Back in March, we announced that MedPro Group is now our preferred provider for professional liability coverage. This means that for WDIA to be able to continue to serve you for your professional liability needs, you need to apply for a MedPro policy.
Apply for MedPro Professional Liability Coverage
Thank you to the hundreds of dentists who told us they value their relationship with WDIA and would like to continue to let us serve them for their professional liability needs.
MedPro aligns with WDIA’s culture of service to dentists and they have quickly become another extension of our family. In addition to MedPro being a top malpractice insurer in the country, they offer Washington dentists great coverage at a competitive price.
When you work with WDIA and MedPro, you are investing in coverage that allows us to serve you and protect your livelihood. Because when you work with WDIA, revenue above our operating costs goes to the WSDA to fund efforts like legislative advocacy and high-quality continuing education for the dental profession here in Washington.
Additionally, as a WSDA member, when you purchase your MedPro professional liability policy through WDIA, you receive a 10% discount on your coverage. And if you are six years or more post dental school graduation and hold a MedPro professional liability policy through WDIA, you receive a $250 discount on your 2025 WSDA membership.
On average, dentists are saving about $450/year when they combine savings.
Thank you once again for the trust you place in WDIA to protect your career, your family, and your practice. It has been a year of significant change and growth at WDIA and you have bolstered us every step of the way. As we look toward this holiday of Thanksgiving, I hope you will remember how grateful WDIA is to serve you both now and in the coming years.
