The Ophthalmic Mutual Insurance Company (OMIC) announced recently that policyholders who are members of ophthalmic societies with an OMIC educational cooperative venture have increased the risk management discount from 8% to 10% when they complete an approved OMIC risk management event. This discount now averages more than $1,000 nationally.

By increasing the special risk management discount to 10% for annual participation in an OMIC CV risk management event, they hope to encourage support for state and subspecialty societies and for lower overall insurance costs for OMIC policyholders.  This change will be effective for risk management events occurring on or after January 1, 2012.

It’s easy for policyholders to take advantage of this program. Make plans to attend the OMIC Risk Management course at the 2012 Masters in Ophthalmology meeting that will be held June 22-24, at the Ritz Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes in Orlando.
