MINNEAPOLIS, February 6, 2008—The Minnesota Medical Association has endorsed Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc. to provide identity theft protection and pre-paid legal services to MMA members and their employees. These services can be valuable additions to your clinic’s employee benefits.

Identity theft protection makes sure that credit reports are monitored. Employees who choose this benefit are called whenever a new account is opened in their name or when derogatory notations are added to their credit records.

If their identify is stolen, experienced professionals can help restore it. Advice from identity theft experts can guide them as they notify bank and credit card companies, contact the major credit repositories, and submit an affidavit to dispute unauthorized charges.

Pre-paid Legal Services, Inc. also provides toll-free access to a qualified lawyer who can give online counsel on a range of everyday legal problems such as overcharges, speeding tickets, IRS audits, defective products and other matters. Employees who opt for this benefit can also get assistance in drafting a will.

The MMA worked with Pre-Paid Legal Services to offer pricing that will be attractive to MMA members and to their employees.
