For those who devote themselves to providing outstanding patient care, we pay tribute.
As an organization founded, owned, and led by physicians, we believe that doctors deserve more than a little gratitude for a career spent practicing good medicine. In 2007, we created the Tribute® Plan—a breakthrough financial benefit to reward our members for their continuing loyalty to The Doctors Company and for their commitment to providing outstanding patient care.
There has never been a better time to be a member of
The Doctors Company.
Tribute Plan allocations typically equal approximately 10 percent of a member’s annual premium. Through 2012, plan funding will nearly double. As a result, members of The Doctors Company will see their Tribute Plan balances accrue at an accelerated rate.
Since 2007, the Tribute Plan has awarded over $5 million to retiring physicians. In addition to the Tribute Plan, The Doctors Company continues to provide other tangible benefits of membership, including innovative coverage solutions, industry-leading patient safety programs, and a multiyear dividend program for eligible members.
The Tribute Plan at a glance:
- The Tribute Plan is a unique financial benefit for members of The Doctors Company.
- It’s a benefit that is designed to receive significant funding every year.
- It’s a benefit that was born out of our tenacious desire to uphold our founding mission as an organization created by doctors to advance and protect the practice of good medicine.
- It’s a financial benefit that The Doctors Company created in an effort to provide tangible proof that we are accountable to the physicians we insure. It helps us reinforce the fact that, as a physician-founded, -owned, and -led organization, we consider our insured physicians to be members of our organization and not merely policyholders. And it proves we are dedicated to rewarding our members—unlike commercial insurance companies focused on rewarding their outside stockholders or countless other insurance companies that view doctors as anonymous policyholders.
- It’s easy to qualify for a Tribute Plan award. A member of The Doctors Company must simply reach age 55 or older, retire permanently from medicine, and be insured by The Doctors Company for five continuous years or more on the day he or she retires. Eligibility requirements for members who were previously insured by a company acquired by The Doctors Company may vary. Please see Frequently Asked Questions.
- The Tribute Plan is an additional member benefit and will not impact a member’s current or future premiums in any way. It’s simply a financial reward that members would not receive if they were with any other national medical liability insurer.
