AMPA created the Elite Physicians program for its members in 2011. The idea was to reward qualified physicians with extreme savings on their medical malpractice insurance premiums. To accomplish this, we partnered with the 9th largest Malpractice Insurance carrier in the nation. We chose this carrier based on their size, exceptional service, strong balance sheet, CME content, Risk Management Services, unique underwriting, flexible payment options, technology and not to mention its 'A' (excellent) Rating from A.M. Best for over 30 straight years for its financial strength and stability. Norcal Mutual is best of breed and the perfect fit for our qualified members.
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS SAVED IN MEDICAL MALPRACTICE INSURANCE
The Elite Physicians program luanched in 2011 in Arizona and has saved AMPA members millions of dollars in premiums.
The program has strict underwriting guidelines and by staying true to those guidelines, the program participants have a loss ratio that is dramatically lower than industry standard. That means Norcal Mutual has to set aside far less money to pay for expenses related to claims. Simply put, you're more profitable than most other insureds. This is why you will get the same policy features and benefits, but pay far less.
Everyone wins. Our members win because they get a top of the line policy backed by an exceptional insurance carrier. Norcal wins because they are insuring low risk clients that are way more profitable. Finally, we win because we get to deliver on our promise of putting our clients needs first and we are rewarded with more opportunities to help new clients.
