PHYSICIANS INSURANCE
Physicians Insurance was founded in 1981 under the auspices of the Washington State Medical Association. Physicians believed then, as they do now, that they would get better service and outcomes from a company that they owned, rather than from a giant, national firm with no local presence.
Since then, other insurance carriers have entered and left the market, but Physicians Insurance has remained the stable, committed, and local insurer for physicians, clinics, facilities, and hospitals. For more than 40 years, the company has experienced steady growth and has built a strong financial base by delivering unwavering protection, empathetic expertise, financial strength, and guidance to our Members when they need it most.
Today, Physicians Insurance serves more than 8,500 both in its home region of the Pacific Northwest and across the country, providing MPL coverage, risk-management consulting, continuing medical education, and claims support. The company is rated A- (Excellent) by A.M. Best Company.
Physicians Insurance maintains corporate headquarters in Seattle with remote offices in additional states. We are proud to have a long history of excellent operating results and are dedicated to living our values of expertise, commitment, and putting people first.
*A.M. Best’s ratings are on a scale from A++ (superior) down to D (poor), with even lower ratings for companies under regulatory supervision or in liquidation.
