MIEC was founded in 1975 in the depths of the malpractice crisis by physicians and their medical societies when insurance was largely unavailable to the healthcare community.  As the West’s first truly physician-owned medical professional liability insurer, MIEC has always been guided by the desire to protect physicians and other healthcare professionals from malpractice risks and committed to a long-term philosophy of business conduct that ensures such a crisis never happens again.  We exist to foster enduring partnerships within the healthcare community by serving members through a philosophy of vigorous protection and high value, delivered by people who care.  

As a member-owned exchange Headquartered in Oakland, CA, MIEC now insures more than 7.400 physicians and other healthcare professionals in 4 states, with regional claims offices in Idaho, Alaska, and Hawaii.   MIEC has consistently adapted to meet the changing needs of healthcare delivery and continually seeks to reinvent medical professional liability through effective partnership, innovative insights, and dynamic risk solutions.
