SARS-CoV-2 Testing

December 7, 2020

Dear OMIC Insureds:

This month’s Bulletin introduces new risk management resources regarding SARS-CoV-2 testing of patients and staff.

If you elect to conduct such testing in your practice, you may find these FAQ documents and consent forms helpful: https://www.omic.com/covid-test-risk-management-recommendations/.

As always, OMIC policyholders are not required to implement risk management recommendations. Rather, physicians should use their professional judgment in determining the applicability of a given recommendation to their particular patients and practice situation.

Many policyholders have inquired if they are covered for offering SARS-CoV-2 testing. A discussion of this and related questions can be found on our website: https://www.omic.com/covid-19-coverage-information/. Questions about coverage should be directed to Underwriting at 1-800-562-6642, ext. 639, or omic@omic.com.

If you have questions about the risk management resources, contact us for confidential risk management advice by emailing us at riskmanagement@omic.com.

Best wishes for a healthy and happy holiday season.

Linda D. Harrison, PhD
Director, OMIC Risk Management

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.
