About the Tribute Plan
Created in 2007, the Tribute Plan rewards you and your peers for your loyalty and dedication to superior patient care. The Doctors Company has now distributed more than $200 million in Tribute Plan awards to more than 15,000 members, an industry-leading milestone.
Unlike many liability insurers that have paused or ended similar programs, The Doctors Company has continually funded the Tribute Plan every year since its launch, and that funding comes from the capital of the company, not from premiums.
Specifics for ProAssurance Insureds
Will I keep my ProAssurance Group company policy or will I be issued a new policy by The Doctors Company?
Your existing ProAssurance Group company policy is fully valid and will remain in place until the time comes to renew, when you may be offered the opportunity to renew with The Doctors Company, subject to applicable eligibility and underwriting requirements. Should your renewal occur shortly after the June 26, 2026, acquisition date, you may be renewed on a ProAssurance Group company policy for practical reasons.
Am I eligible to participate in the Tribute Plan if I was previously insured by a ProAssurance Group company?
If you transition to a policy issued by The Doctors Company or start or renew on a ProAssurance policy,* The Doctors Company will start to accrue a Tribute balance for you. This initial balance will be based on your annual premium amount multiplied by the Tribute funding rate current at the time. The five years of continuous coverage required for Tribute eligibility will commence on the date you transition to a policy issued by The Doctors Company or the date you first renew on a ProAssurance policy after June 26, 2026, whichever is earlier.
To receive any Tribute award distribution, you must be insured by The Doctors Company. To qualify for a retirement distribution, you must be 55 years of age or older with five continuous years of coverage from The Doctors Company (including any eligible ProAssurance policy coverage beginning or renewed after June 26, 2026) and permanently retire from the practice of medicine.

*The phrase “a ProAssurance policy” includes reference to any admitted medical professional liability policy issued by a subsidiary or affiliate of ProAssurance Corporation in force immediately prior to transitioning to a medical professional liability policy issued by The Doctors Company, an Interinsurance Exchange.
