Napa, California—July 15, 2025 —The Doctors Company, the nation’s largest physician-owned medical malpractice insurer, part of TDC Group, announced today that it has now distributed more than $200 million in Tribute® Plan awards to over 15,000 members. Founded in 2007, the Tribute Plan is an unrivaled financial benefit that rewards retiring healthcare professionals for their loyalty and dedication to superior patient care. It is the largest such benefit in the industry, with the highest individual award to date exceeding $260,000.
“The Tribute Plan is a powerful reflection 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 TDC Group. “It represents our long-term commitment to our members—and to the practice of medicine itself.”
Backed by the company’s financial strength of $7.8 billion in assets and $3.1 billion in member surplus, the Tribute Plan has received continuous annual funding since its launch. Unlike many liability insurers that have paused or ended similar programs, The Doctors Company continues to fund Tribute from its own capital—not from premiums. Tribute payments are in addition to the company’s ongoing dividend program.
