Must I be a member of the AAO to be insured with OMIC?

Yes. Because OMIC was created and is exclusively sponsored by the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO), we require that ophthalmologists be a member of the Academy to be eligible for coverage with OMIC. As an AAO member, you are also eligible for many other valuable benefits.

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.
