There's a reason we've been selected as a Top Workplace in Northeast Ohio for 14 consecutive years. At Medical Mutual, we are committed to caring for our most valuable asset - our dedicated employees.

Founded in 1934, Medical Mutual is the oldest and one of the largest health insurance companies based in Ohio. We provide peace of mind to more than 1.6 million Ohioans through our high-quality health, life, disability, dental, vision and indemnity plans. We offer fully insured and self-funded group coverage, including stop loss, as well as Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement, and individual plans.

Medical Mutual' s status as a mutual company means we are owned by our policyholders, not stockholders, so we don't answer to Wall Street analysts or pay dividends to investors. Instead, we focus on developing products and services that allow us to better serve our customers and the communities around us and help our members achieve their best possible health and quality of life.

Information Technology is at the heart of everything we do at Medical Mutual which explains the tremendous growth within our IT departments.
