Chair

It is my great honor and privilege to be your new chair of OMIC since the beginning of 2023. Now in our 36th year, we currently insure more than 6,000 ophthalmologists and provide our members with the finest claim defense and first class risk management resources and education. We are financially secure with a healthy surplus to prepare us for the future and have a stellar reputation among our colleagues in the medical professional liability community. As I start my term it is my vision that along with the incredible ophthalmologists on our board and committees and the superior OMIC staff, that we continue to build our outstanding partnership with the AAO while adapting to the ever-changing clinical, business and medical-legal climate in ophthalmology.

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.
