NAPA, Calif., Oct. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Due to disruption to member medical practices from Hurricane Helene and consistent with direction from state insurance regulation offices, The Doctors Company will adjust policy cancellation and premium installment due dates for affected members. Premium due dates have generally been extended in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee, with Florida extending from September 26, 2024, to November 26, 2024.

The grace period is provided without interest or penalty to allow practitioners to care for patients and attend to their practices in the storm’s aftermath. Affected members should contact their agent or Member Services at (800) 421-2368 with any questions.

“We will do everything we can to assist our affected members,” said Deepika Srivastava, Chief Operating Officer of The Doctors Company. “Once Hurricane Helene and its effects have passed, our underwriters will continue to work with any member who was unable to make policy payments because of the hurricane and its aftermath.”

The Doctors Company is also encouraging its employees to volunteer and financially assist victims through qualified nonprofit organizations of their choosing.
