The partnership will help MDA National increase the support offered to their members, strengthening the medical care available to communities

SYDNEY, Nov. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Duck Creek Technologies, the intelligent solutions provider defining the future of property and casualty (P&C) and general insurance, has been selected by MDA National (MDAN), an Australia-wide medical defence organisation providing support and protection to over 50,000 members, to deliver their new policy administration, policyholder portal, billing and next-gen analytics and insights solutions. Duck Creek’s platform will help MDAN develop and provide innovative new services, improved member self-service and enhanced data-driven risk management capabilities, allowing them to increase the support and protection offered to their growing medical practitioner member base, in turn strengthening the medical care available to communities. 

Duck Creek’s cloud-based OnDemand platform will replace MDAN’s legacy system to improve the ease of doing business for both members and staff, increase speed of change, and help create a more agile and innovative service-led model. Duck Creek’s solutions were preferred due to their out-of-the-box capabilities, re-usable, and customisable modular architecture, user-experience led design, configurability, automation and future-proof capacity. Duck Creek’s extensive experience serving the local, and international, medical indemnity markets was also a significant influencing factor. 

“Transforming our technological capability through our partnership with Duck Creek will significantly enhance our ability to deliver on our purpose of supporting and protecting members whilst promoting good medical practice, leading to a successful and sustainable future,” said Ian Anderson, Chief Executive Officer of MDA National.  

“Apart from enabling growth in membership, the program will allow the agility to create new services that support members’ everchanging needs, enable access to data that gives us enhanced ability to capture opportunities and proactively manage risk,” he said. “The increase in automation will improve productivity and keep costs low for members, whilst freeing up our dedicated team of staff to continue to provide the personalised guidance and care that our members need.” 

“We look forward to being a strategic technology partner to MDAN as they deliver new and innovative offerings that meet and surpass the evolving needs of Australia’s medical professionals,” said Christian Erickson, Managing Director of APAC of Duck Creek Technologies. “Duck Creek continues to meet the needs of our partners and customers by delivering mission critical insurance SaaS technology to key medical indemnity and general insurers in Australia and the rest of the world.”
