Advantage Program for APPs

Medical professional liability coverage for Advanced Practice Providers (APPs)

COPIC is excited to provide a coverage option for APPs that is insured under COPIC's Risk Retention Group and offered through Western Summit, LLC.

As the role of APPs continues to expand and many states are allowing APPs to practice independently, COPIC is working with Western Summit to offer medical liability insurance built upon our trusted coverage. Western Summit is an MGA (Managing General Agent/Underwriter) that has worked with APPs for decades on similar programs. COPIC's partnership with Western Summit is focused on stand-alone policies for APPs separate from existing COPIC policies.
