About Us

CorePRO Insurance’s mission is to bring outstanding options to professionals seeking insurance both for their business and personal assets. CorePRO was inspired by a longstanding request by clients of its sister company, MedMal Direct Insurance Company. They thoroughly enjoyed the service MedMal Direct provided on their Medical Professional Liability Insurance and inquired about other lines such as BOP, Workers’ Compensation, EPL and often times their personal lines as well. In 2015, CorePRO acquired a Jacksonville, FL agency, Hatcher & Associates, Insurance. The CorePRO team has more than 50 years of experience protecting clients’ businesses and other valued assets.
