“We have some really great news. OMIC is experiencing another year of positive operating performance, one of our best years ever. From year-end 2013 through June 30, 2014, admitted assets grew by more than $6 million to a total $266 million and policyholder surplus grew by more than $10 million to a total $174 million. OMIC is forecast to record a net increase in policyholders in 2014—a goal we have achieved every year we’ve been in business. In recognition of these achievements and OMIC’s continued favorable claims trends, your Board of Directors has extended current rates through your 2015 policy period and will initiate significant rate decreases in 2016. The Board also declared a 20% dividend for all physician-insureds active on December 31, 2015, to be applied to 2016 renewal premiums.”

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.
