Joanne A. Wayman

Biography

Joanne’s career has evolved from that of an emergency department nurse in a teaching hospital in Chicago, to a community hospital in NH, then on to a trauma center in Massachusetts.  After the clinical setting Joanne worked as a nurse consultant for a plaintiffs’ Med Mal firm in Florida and a defense firm in Austin, TX.  While in TX, Joanne received her Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Texas at Austin.

Medical Malpractice insurance defense work was the next logical step in career development.  Joanne worked for a physician insurer in NJ then started the Med Mal claims unit at Executive Risk Specialty Insurance in CT.  ERSIC was subsequently acquired by the Chubb Group of Insurance Companies where Joanne spent the next ten years initially as a claim examiner then supervisor and ultimately heading up the Medical Malpractice Unit with a staff of 24.  As the Med Mal runoff occurred, Joanne also negotiated high-severity claims for Casualty Bodily Injury claims.

Joanne joined OneBeacon Professional Insurance in August 2009 and manages healthcare claims for the Eastern U.S.
