Abstract
The physician-owned captive insurance company is a lesser known but dynamic alternative to commercial insurance. The Physicians Reimbursement Fund, Ltd., was founded in 1975 in response to the malpractice crisis of that year. The company insures about 100 physicians in high-risk specialties. Approximately one half are obstetrician-gynecologists. Innovative management has enabled this company to operate successfully at a fraction of the premium charged by typical insurance companies. Fourteen years of experience have demonstrated the ability of this company to successfully serve the needs of the community.
