Napa, California—October 6, 2022—Due to potential disruption to member medical practices from Hurricane Ian, The Doctors Company will adjust policy cancellation and premium installment due dates for its Florida members.
Consistent with a request from the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation, The Doctors Company is providing Florida members with a premium payment grace period that runs until November 28, 2022. The grace period is provided without interest or penalty to allow providers to care for patients and attend to their practices in the aftermath of the storm.
Florida members should contact their agent or Member Services at (800) 421-2368 with any questions.
“We will do everything we can to assist our affected members,” said Deepika Srivastava, Executive Vice President of MPL and TDC Group Shared Services. “Once Hurricane Ian and its effects have passed, our underwriters will continue to work with any member who was unable to make policy payments because of the hurricane and its aftermath.”
The Doctors Company is also encouraging its employees to volunteer and financially assist victims through qualified nonprofit organizations of their choosing.
