On Serving Wisconsin: OMIC is Approved for Writing Coverage for Ophthalmologists

image_wiAfter more than 20 years OMIC is finally approved by the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance (OCI) to write coverage for American Academy of Ophthalmology members in the state. We’ve worked tirelessly to bring all that OMIC has to offer to the ophthalmologists in the badger state and thank the state’s legislators, governor Walker, and the OCI for making the changes that we believe will improve patient safety and provide ophthalmologists in Wisconsin with an alternative to the multi-specialty insurance industry.

Since our inception in 1987, OMIC has consistently outperformed our peers in the malpractice insurance market by leveraging our single-specialty model. Because ophthalmology is a lower risk medical specialty compared to some others, our policyholders can be assured that they will never subsidize higher risk professions through their premiums. OMIC’s track record of higher dividend returns and lower rates than our competitors is well documented here.

We will be initiating a comprehensive marketing initiative in the coming months to introduce coverage options and to answer questions. Many Wisconsin ophthalmologists already know about our resources and track record. We know that many in the state are using our web site to download patient consent forms and other documents. We couldn’t be happier if we are improving the treatment and education of patients in the state.

Now is the time to check out all that OMIC has to offer. Get a quote today, you may be surprised that you can get all of the special benefits of OMIC at a comparable price.

Six reasons OMIC is the best choice for ophthalmologists in America.

Consistent return of premium.

Publicly-traded insurance companies exist to make profits for shareholders while physician-owned carriers often return profits to their policyholders. Don’t underestimate this benefit; it can add up to tens of thousands of dollars over the course of your career. OMIC has one of the most generous dividend programs for ophthalmologists and has returned more than $90 Million to our members through dividends.
