Dow Jones Description
FPIC Insurance Group, Inc. was formed in a reorganization of First Professionals Insurance Company, Inc., formerly named Florida Physicians Insurance Company, Inc. ("First Professionals"), in 1996. We operate in the medical professional liability ("MPL") insurance sector of the property and casualty insurance industry as an insurance carrier. Our primary insurance products provide protection for physicians, dentists and other healthcare providers as individual practitioners or as members of practice groups. Our insurance protects policyholders against losses arising from professional liability claims and the related defense costs with respect to injuries alleged to have been caused by medical error or malpractice. Optional coverage is available for professional corporations under which physicians or dentists practice. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "we," "our," "us," the "Company," and "FPIC" as used in this report refer to FPIC Insurance Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Through our insurance subsidiaries, we are the largest provider of MPL insurance in Florida. Based on 2007 premiums reported by SNL Financial LC, Florida is the fourth largest market for MPL insurance in the United States in terms of direct premiums written. We focus on selected markets where we believe we have advantages in terms of our market knowledge, well-established reputation, meaningful market presence and resources.
