Hawaii Medical Assurance Association (HMAA) has created a new division, Business Alliance Hawaii, to offer suites of non-health-releated services to small- and mid-sized businesses.

The three initial services offered are pay-as-you go workers compensation coverage, coverage for identity theft and legal protection, and an information technology security service.

The expanded services are part of a result of an agreement with Ceridian Corp. signed in March and reflect partnerships with other companies doing business in Hawaii including HEMIC, ID Theft Solutions and SuperGeeks.
