Napa, California—May 4, 2009—The Doctors Company, the largest national insurer of physician, surgeon, and oral and maxillofacial surgeon medical liability, is pleased to announce that the California Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (CALAOMS) continues its exclusive sponsorship of the company’s medical professional liability program through 2011.

CALAOMS had sponsored SCPIE for more than 22 years and recognized The Doctors Company’s unrivaled protection and benefits as well as the continuation of the excellent service SCPIE had always offered.
