Launching a New APC Product

Our nationwide perspective positions us to identify trends in healthcare delivery and respond with innovative and essential products and services that meet the needs of the care providers on the frontlines of those trends. One such trend is the increase of advanced practice clinicians (APCs) providing primary care in the face of a growing national physician shortage. In response, we are expanding our products and services to offer a new product developed specifically for APCs.

Our new product supports the delivery of care by APCs by providing outstanding medical malpractice insurance, risk management and patient safety information, educational resources and continuing education, and practice management solutions. It does not compromise our ability or commitment to deliver industry-leading services to physicians across the spectrum of care.

As a company founded and led by doctors, The Doctors Company has been relentlessly advancing, protecting, and rewarding the practice of good medicine for more than 45 years. We have always been there to support doctors with expert guidance, resources, and coverage—and we always will. We stand by our members with strong defense, the Tribute® Plan—the industry’s largest financial award—and the best imaginable service.
