As an organization run by and committed to the success of our physician members, CAP offers you a full array of services beyond your medical professional liability coverage to help you operate a safer, more successful medical practice. Human resources support is just one example of those services.

CAP Agency certainly hopes you and your family were not affected by the recent fires in California. When disasters like this happen, it is always an opportunity to reflect on your personal insurance. Once we get the coverage for our homes, we often forget to review it regularly to make sure we still have the protection we need if something were to occur. We want to be sure if something does happen, you will be able to replace your home and all personal assets.

According to the Medical Board of California 2017-2018 Annual Report, the Board’s Enforcement Program received 10,188 complaints against physicians, surgeons, and unlicensed individuals. This reflects an increase of 1,269 complaints (nine percent) over the prior fiscal year. The Board also referred 504 cases to the Attorney General for further action, an increase of more than 18 percent over the prior year.

As you know, being an independent physician brings many rewards, as well as some challenges, including securing affordable health benefits for you and your employees. Did you know that you and your employees can soon secure affordable dental coverage through MetLife Dental and vision benefits through EyeMed Vision Care?

If you are contemplating a change in your practice, please notify CAP as soon as possible so our Membership Services Department can review your options with you and make your coverage transition a smooth one.
