Insurance Renewal Reminder

July 1 is often a busy time for medical malpractice insurance policy renewals. The Florida Obstetric and Gynecologic Society continues to endorse First Professionals Insurance Company (First Professionals) as the provider for professional liability insurance. First Professionals has a proven record as the state's longest serving malpractice insurer with more than 30 years experience in Florida.

First Professionals offers members in good standing of the Florida Obstetric and Gynecologic Society a 5 percent premium discount off the base rate. After taking advantage of this discount members may then access additional loss-free discounts for even greater savings of over 25 percent. The discount will be applied upon renewal (or new policy issuance as applicable) for qualified policyholders. In addition to the membership discount, First Professionals offers many benefits to policyholders. Contact Director of Society Relationships, Angie Nykamp, at 800-741-3742, ext. 3071 or angie.nykamp@fpic.com.

First Professionals Insurance Company is endorsed by 21 county medical societies, 15 specialty groups and three statewide associations in Florida.
