Anesthesia Liability

Retina specialist Dr. Michael Morley, anesthesiologist Dr. Karen Nanji, and OMIC Patient Safety Manager Anne Menke conducted a study of OMIC ophthalmic anesthesia claims from 2008 to 2018 that was published in the July 2020 issue of Ophthalmology.[1] Part 1 of this article presents some of the data from our study. Part 2 provides risk management recommendations and answers questions about liability for anesthesia care. OMIC hopes Anesthesia Liability contributes to the ongoing safety of ophthalmic anesthesia.

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.
