  • Medical Malpractice

    Risk Retention Groups are a medical liability program designed for medical professionals that are interested in taking back control of their operating costs.

    OUR MISSION

    To empower physicians to control their medical malpractice insurance risk, to lower their premium rates over time and to share in investment and underwriting surpluses (profits).





    Background

  • Risk Retention Groups (RRGs)- Professional liability insurance organizations owned and governed by subscribers and run for their benefit- not for outside shareholders
  • Physicians began turning to RRGs, authorized by the Liability Risk Retention Act (LRRA), in 2002 and they've grown dramatically since.
  • Half of all RRGs since 2008 were formed to provide medical malpractice insurance for physicians who sought their cost control and program stability benefits.

    Why Are RRG Premiums Lower?

  • Lower management and corporate overhead expense
  • No profit component built into premiums
  • Underwriting policy controlled by member physicians
  • Participants have stake in business
  • Arbitration/claims mitigation program


    What are your Risk Transfer Options?

  • Insurers, where you'll over pay to support corporate overhead and profits, which you do not share in. Or, if you do get a dividend it is not proportionate to full profits.
  • Go bare and attempt to shield assets and future income from court jurisdiction.
  • Create your own standalone captives and RRGs, which involve high capitalization, high start-up costs and time and expense for ongoing management.

    Or the smart option

  • One of our many RRG's tailored to your specialty, which provides coverage based on the true cost of claims, in concert with asset and income protection programs, with low start-up and operating costs and low time commitment.
