APC and Dental Business Will Be Credited Toward Our 2027 Agent/Broker Travel Incentive

With the changes to the eligibility requirements for the 2027 Agent/Broker Travel Incentive, new business for the advanced practice clinician (APC) and dental (DEN) programs with policy effective dates of July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, will both be credited toward earning the travel incentive (and is not capped) for next year's trip to Lake Como, Italy. Here’s how it works:

Multiplier Calculation

For new APC and DEN business, premiums above $50,000 will be multiplied by two times (x2) their value. For the purpose of calculating progress toward the new business goal of $1,250,000, which earns a guaranteed spot for the trip to Lake Como, Italy, the amount of the premiums earned will be doubled. However, agents/brokers must generate at least $50,000 in new APC and DEN business for the multiplier to apply. For example:

Bob White Wins Prominent Award and Is Interviewed by Medical Economics

On May 14 in Philadelphia, TDC Group President Robert E. White, Jr., was presented the 2026 Award of Excellence in Honor of Peter Sweetland by the Medical Professional Liability Association (MPL Association). The award recognizes his outstanding contributions and longtime dedication to the MPL insurance community, healthcare professionals, and the MPL Association.

Bob was also featured in a video interview, “What’s Driving Malpractice Rate Changes in 2026?”, where he explains in detail how malpractice insurance rates are being shaped by a mix of legal, economic, and healthcare industry pressures. Bob also delivers an important message for physicians and healthcare leaders that while claims frequency may be declining, claims severity continues to rise—driven by social inflation, higher indemnity costs, and nuclear verdicts. 

We encourage you to share this news with your clients as it reinforces TDC Group’s position as a trusted resource on key industry issues.
