The Doctors Company Announces 2011 Dividend for Members in Ohio

http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs020/1101854472700/img/767.jpg

The Doctors Company, the largest insurer of physician and surgeon medical liability in both Ohio and the U.S., and the endorsed carrier of the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine, is pleased to announce a 10 percent dividend to reward its Ohio member physicians for their dedication to the practice of good medicine.

The 2011 dividend credit, approved by The Doctors Company’s Board of Governors, will be applied as a 10 percent premium reduction to its nearly 5,000 members in Ohio on policy renewals on or after July 1, 2011.

“Our strong dividend is made possible by the excellent claims experience of our members,” said Richard E. Anderson, MD, FACP, chairman and CEO. “The dividend is just one of the ways in which we recognize our member physicians for their commitment to superior patient care.”

This year, The Doctors Company is returning $23 million in dividends to members across the country. Since 1976, over $207 million in dividends has been paid to its members.

The Doctors Company Offers Patient Safety Seminar for Members in Ohio: The Perils of Diagnosis

The Doctors Company, the exclusively endorsed carrier for the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine and the largest national insurer of physician and surgeon medical liability in the U.S., is offering a seminar to help Ohio member physicians reduce their risk and improve patient safety.

Diagnostic errors continue to be among the most prevalent malpractice allegations, accounting for more than one-quarter of the claims in The Doctors Company’s database. By applying practical strategies to improve understanding of the diagnostic process, physicians can increase awareness of patient safety and minimize risk. This informative seminar for physicians of all specialties will address some of the factors associated with diagnostic liability, from detection and disclosure to prevention.

The Doctors Company is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to sponsor continuing medical education for physicians.

The Doctors Company designates this educational activity for a maximum of 1.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)TM. Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
