Duane Castles - Physician Insurers Association of America (PIAA)

 

The Physician Insurers Association of America (PIAA) is the only trade association representing the physician-owned and/or -operated medical professional liability insurance industry. PIAA membership comprises two categories: Primary (Regular and Associate Members) and Affiliate. Primary Members provide medical professional liability coverage to physicians, dentists, and hospitals, among others.  

Affiliate Members consist of non-insurance companies that provide goods and/or services to the medical professional liability insurance industry.

The PIAA is pleased to introduce a new tier to its successful Affiliate Membership program: a new, five-year pilot membership program for legal defense firms that have an ongoing business relationship with PIAA regular or associate members. The new program, Affiliate Membership for Defense Law Firms (AMDLF), was designed to be mutually beneficial to PIAA members and the defense law firms that serve them.

Established as a separate subgroup of Affiliate Membership, the new AMDLF category will offer the same high-quality programs and services that regular Affiliate Members receive - adapted to meet the needs of the defense counsel.

In addition, this unique program provides defense firms with unparalleled corporate exposure opportunities—opportunities that are not available anywhere else!   

Please refer to our chart that outlines the exposure opportunities available within the different levels of membership, as well as the current benefits of Affiliate Membership. Duane Castles

To become an Affiliate Member of the PIAA, please complete and return the application form.

Please note that first year membership dues will be prorated by number of full months left in the calendar year.

We hope you will take advantage of this unique opportunity to participate in an exclusive forum for defense law firms that serve the physician-owned and/or -operated medical professional liability insurance industry.

Duane Castles - CICA

CICA is the first and best source of unbiased information, knowledge and leadership for captive insurance decision-makers. Look to CICA for the best networking, education and advocacy for the captive insurance industry.

“This decision removes the uncertainty that has hung over the captive industry since the IRS regulation was proposed last fall,” said Molly Lambert, Co-Chair of the Coalition and President of the Vermont Captive Insurance Association (VCIA). “We would like to thank all of the Coalition members who helped with both the technical and political response to the proposed regulation. The forceful and unified response of the captive industry, captive regulators, state governors, and affiliated organizations played a key role in convincing the IRS to withdraw the proposed regulation even before the formal hearing.”
