Doctor Owned Malpractice Company Opens New Ohio Office

March 31, 2006

Healthcare Underwriters Group Mutual of Ohio (HUOH) reported it has completed its move to a new location in Columbus that will allow it to better serve the growing number of doctors electing to join a medical malpractice company owned and governed by Ohio doctors.

HUOH’s new address is:
Healthcare Underwriters Group Mutual of Ohio
450 Alkyre Run, Suite 360
Columbus, Ohio 43082-6914

“We are pleased that so many Ohio doctors have responded to an insurance model that places doctors in charge of this important area of their practice. As we continue to grow, it is becoming more obvious that a doctor owned and governed malpractice company is the best solution to the malpractice crisis,” said Gary Birnbaum, M.D., J.D., and chairperson of the Board for HUOH. “

“HUOH was formed to put an end to the spiraling cost of medical malpractice insurance for our members. We work to apply a downward pressure on future rates every day by insuring the right doctors, fighting claims, and by keeping operational costs in line,” said Steven L. Salman. HUOH’s CEO. “Our new location will serve as an effective command center from which we will battle meritless claims brought against our insured/owners throughout the state.”

Healthcare Underwriters Group Mutual of Ohio is a non-profit insurance mutual owned and governed by Ohio doctors. For more information, call (866) 484-5715 or visit www.HUgroupOH.com.
