Exclusive Sponsorship from CALAOMS
The California Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (CALAOMS) continues its exclusive sponsorship of the company’s medical professional liability program through 2011.
The Doctors Company succeeds The SCPIE Companies, which were acquired by The Doctors Company in 2008, as CALAOMS’s sponsored carrier. CALAOMS had sponsored SCPIE for more than 22 years and recognized The Doctors Company’s unrivaled protection and benefits as well as the continuation of the excellent service SCPIE had always offered.
Key program benefits include lower rates, tail vesting at any age, broad liability limits, and industry-leading patient safety and risk management programs. CALAOMS members will also be eligible for the Tribute® Plan.
