The MMA and TCMS have endorsed LegalShield (formerly known as Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc.) to provide an Identity Theft protection plan and a Life Events Legal plan to MMA members, their families and their employees.

No one expects identity theft to happen to them, but it affects millions of people in the United States each year. Identity theft is the fastest growing crime worldwide and presents a potential risk to everyone. The Identity Theft Shield program provides an individual credit report for each member at the start of the program, 24/7 monitoring of the activity on your financial accounts, social security number, medical coverage and drivers license. In the event of the theft of your identity, the program provides a unique restoration plan with licensed investigators working with you to restore your identity.

The Life Events Legal plan is to your attorney fees what your major medical insurance is to your hospital and doctor bills. The plan provides you with access to experienced attorneys who can provide counsel on everyday legal matters, will preparation, contract review, motor vehicle legal services, trial defense services, IRS audit legal services, and discounted rates on other legal services.

To learn more about obtaining these programs for yourself personally or to offer the programs to your employees, contact Barry Weber at 612-940-5828, email at bweber@mnmed.org or visit his website at LegalShield.
