2021 Member Dividend Announced

The Board of Governors has declared a 2021 premium dividend of approximately $8.6 million, bringing the total declared dividends to date to $440 million.

“We are proud to once again reward members with dividends, which is part of our mission to advance, protect, and reward the practice of good medicine,” said Richard E. Anderson, MD, FACP, chairman and CEO of The Doctors Company and leader of the TDC Group of companies (TDC Group). “As a member-owned company, we are committed to sharing the results of our financial success with the physicians we insure, many of whom have struggled economically this past year while delivering care in conditions unimaginable during the pandemic.”

Dividends of up to 10 percent were approved for eligible members in the following states: Colorado, Florida, Maryland, North Carolina, Ohio, and Virginia. Members of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons® may also receive a dividend.

Eligible members will receive this year’s dividend on their annual premium for policy renewals on or after July 1, 2021.

Unlike commercial insurance companies, which look for ways to reward shareholders, The Doctors Company is dedicated to rewarding its members. In addition to dividends, the company provides the Tribute® Plan, an unrivaled career benefit that has awarded more than $120 million to retiring doctors.
