With eyes toward the future, MMA Charlotte is looking to dominate the insurance industry through strategic offerings including specialized programs such as MMA Rx Solutions, a client-customized pharmacy benefits program or MMA/CHUBB Product Recall Plus, an affordable suite of product recall coverage to protect an organization’s balance sheet from financial loss resulting from a recall. “It’s going to be exciting for account service teams across the board, just for us to be a leader,” says David.
