Exclusively Endorsed by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons® (ASPS®) has exclusively endorsed The Doctors Company’s medical malpractice insurance program since 1990.

As the nation’s largest physician-owned medical malpractice insurer—and the leading insurer of ASPS members—The Doctors Company has unparalleled insight into the broad range of claims in plastic surgery. Through the ASPS Professional Liability Committee, we work closely with the society to identify and resolve critical issues affecting plastic surgeons.

Backed by the financial strength of more than $6.9 billion in assets and a membership of 89,000 physicians nationwide, The Doctors Company offers ASPS members expert guidance, resources, and coverage. That’s malpractice insurance without the mal.

Extensive benefits for ASPS members

Program discount and claims-free credit for qualified members
Members with a favorable claims history receive a program discount of 5 percent, and members who remain claims-free may receive an additional credit of up to 25 percent.

Relentlessly defending you in and out of the courtroom

Your reputation and livelihood are on the line, so we take allegations just as seriously as you do. If a claim is ever made against you, our defense will be uncompromising and our team of member advocates will be there, by your side, supporting you throughout the litigation process.

For members facing litigation, we offer Surviving Litigation Seminars that help doctors master defense tactics, develop sound testimony, and cope with the emotional stress of a claim.  

Proactive coverage for today’s practice environment

Our national perspective and local experts enable us to anticipate emerging threats and deliver innovative solutions—for example, our medical liability policy includes cyber liability protection and MediGuard® regulatory risk coverage.

Risk management and patient safety expertise

Members have access to industry-leading patient safety tools and programs tailored to ASPS members’ needs, plus free web-based and live CME.

Members receive our quarterly publication, The Doctor’s Advocate, which contains timely information on patient safety topics, legislative updates, and the latest industry and company news.

We reward members

Unlike commercial insurance companies, which reward shareholders, we’re dedicated to rewarding our members. The Tribute® Plan, is an unrivaled financial benefit paid to members at retirement—the highest Tribute award paid to date to a plastic surgeon is $71,446.

Eligible ASPS members also participate in our generous multiyear dividend program, which has declared $470 million since 1976.

Qualified members receive free tail coverage.

Founded and led by doctors

The physicians we insure are members of our organization, not just policyholders. We are founded and led by physicians—including a physician majority on our Board of Governors.
