Is OMIC’s ability to pay claims limited by the amount of capital it has?

No. OMIC has three sources of funding for the payment of claims. First, OMIC collects premiums that are actuarially developed to cover anticipated losses. In addition, OMIC purchases its own insurance, called “reinsurance”, to cover the costs of very large claims. We obtain much of our reinsurance from one of the most well-respected reinsurers in the world: Lloyds of London. Furthermore, OMIC maintains significant surplus to act as a buffer against an unlikely instance in which the premium and reinsurance are insufficient to cover the company’s actual losses.

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.
