Does my optometrist or nurse anesthetist have to be insured?

Yes. So that you do not become financially responsible for full liability exposure arising from their actions, OMIC requires that employed optometrists and nurse anesthetists maintain professional liability insurance that covers them for services that they render. In addition, we recommend (but do not require) that they carry limits of liability equal to your limits. Coverage may be available for your employed ODs and CRNAs under your policy, or they may secure their own coverage with another carrier.

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.
