Exclusively Sponsored by the American Academy of Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery
The American Academy of Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS) has exclusively sponsored The Doctors Company’s medical malpractice insurance program since 2003. We have earned the academy’s sponsorship through our fierce commitment to relentlessly defend, protect, and reward our members.
As the nation’s largest physician-owned medical malpractice insurer, The Doctors Company has unparalleled insight into the broad range of claims in otolaryngology. Through the AAO-HNS Professional Liability Working Group, we work closely with the academy to identify and resolve critical issues affecting otolaryngologists.
Backed by the financial strength of $4 billion in assets and a membership of 73,000 physicians nationwide, The Doctors Company offers AAO-HNS members a unique combination of coverage features, aggressive claims defense, unrivaled protection, and tangible economic benefits.
