COPIC is a leading provider of medical professional liability insurance to physicians, group practices, hospitals and other medical facilities. Our nationally-recognized patient safety and risk management programs deliver tools and guidance designed for practical implementation to improve health care outcomes. And COPIC’s advocacy efforts help maintain a stable medical liability environment so health care professionals can focus on what matters most—better medicine and better lives.
COPIC’s mission is to improve medicine in the communities we serve. One of the ways we do this is by supporting organizations like the Colorado Rural Health Center (CRHC) so it can carry out its mission to enhance healthcare services in the state and address rural health issues. It’s a partnership COPIC is proud to be a part of, as we work with CRHC and its members “to ensure that all rural Coloradans have access to comprehensive, affordable, high quality healthcare.”
COPIC’s philosophy is based on offering valuable educational resources, trusted advice, solid defense and unparalleled customer service:
- COPIC annually offers more than 400 educational programs that reach more than 10,000 health care professionals.
- When patients are injured due to a failure to meet the standard of care, COPIC supports fair and expeditious compensation. When medicine meets the standard of care, we rigorously defend policyholders, drawing upon extensive experience in medical liability claims and expert legal counsel.
- COPIC’s intensive legislative advocacy program focuses on tort reform and patient safety as essential to accessible, affordable quality health care and a stable medical liability environment.
- COPIC’s 3Rs (Recognize, Respond and Resolve) Program addresses unexpected medical outcomes in a way that attempts to preserve the physician-patient relationship and reimburse the patient for related eligible expenses. It was recognized by The New England Journal of Medicine as part of the national transformation in how health care providers communicate with patients about unexpected outcomes.
- COPIC conducts more than 2,200 practice quality reviews annually to provide guidance on ways to improve internal systems and mitigate risk.
COPIC was founded by Colorado physicians in 1981. Today, our CEO and the majority of our board members are physicians, representing diverse medical specialties, practice sizes/settings, and geographical areas. The remaining board members are respected business leaders. COPIC consists of COPIC Insurance Company, COPIC Financial Service Group, Ltd., and COPIC Medical Foundation—all of which work together to collaborate with key stakeholders and the broader health care community.
