Set Your Sales Goals—Commission Incentive Renewed for 2026–2027

The Doctors Company is renewing our Key Agency Commission Incentive Program for the upcoming 2026–2027 program year (July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027), allowing most Chairman’s Circle and Key Agencies to continue earning additional commission on eligible new and retained business.

Commission for All States Except New York

 
For new and renewal business in all states except New York, the rest of the Key Agency Commission Incentive Program remains the same as the prior program year and works as follows:

• Qualifying Chairman’s Circle and Key Agencies that meet predetermined goals can earn additional commissions of 5 percent on new business and 1 percent on retained business.

• To earn the commission for the 2026–2027 program year, agencies must maintain their Chairman’s Circle or Key Agency status as of July 1, 2026. The bonus commission for the 2026–2027 program year will apply to policies with effective dates of July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027.

• The premium to which the new business bonus commission will apply is limited at $10,000,000 per account.

• The special commission incentive checks will be issued at the end of the program period in a single lump-sum payment.

• Business produced in New York will not be eligible for the additional 5 percent bonus on new business and 1 percent on retained business provided to Chairman’s Circle and Key Agencies. This applies to the 2026–2027 program year.

In addition, we continue to encourage solo-to-five-physician submissions for our new business bonus commission program that is open to all agents and brokers. An additional 5 percent commission (for all states except New York) will be paid as new business and for the first policy renewal for these submissions.

This is the 13-year anniversary of the Commission Incentive Program. Since its inception (2014–2015), Chairman’s Circle and Key Agencies have earned $46 million in additional commission.

New York Commission Only

New York agents and brokers will receive 10 percent for all new and renewal medical professional liability business specified below that is placed in New York with either The Doctors Company or Hospitals Insurance Company.

• For The Doctors Company solo-to-five policies effective on or after July 1, 2026, agents and brokers will earn 3 percent commission paid on new business and for the first policy renewal for these submissions.

• The solo-to-five-physician eligibility requirement applies as of the policy effective date only. Additions during the year will not affect the commission payment. There is no limit on affiliated ancillary healthcare providers. Affirmation of practice size is required at the time coverage is bound.
