Risk Management



Lessons Learned from Settlements and Trials of 2006

This CD of our 2007 OMIC audiocourse features discussions about claims resulting from a “wrong” IOL, hemorrhage during blepharoplasty, and dry eye following co-managed LASIK surgery. After listening to this CD, ophthalmologists should be better able to implement protocols to correctly identify the patient, procedure, eye, laser settings, and IOL; recognize and prepare to manage patients at risk for hemorrhage during ophthalmic procedures; and detect and disclose preoperative conditions that may put the patient at increased risk for complications or side effects.

Six reasons OMIC is the best choice for ophthalmologists in America.

Best at defending claims.

An ophthalmologist pays nearly half a million dollars in premiums over the course of a career. Premium paid is directly related to a carrier’s claims experience. OMIC has a higher win rate taking tough cases to trial, full consent to settle (no hammer) clause, and access to the best experts. OMIC pays 25% less per claim than other carriers. As a result, OMIC has consistently maintained lower base rates than multispecialty carriers in the U.S.
