Florida Society of Ophthalmology Member Benefits

In addition to the many existing benefits that come with being a member of the Florida Society of Ophthalmology, the Board of Directors is pleased to offer the FSO Membership the following package benefits.

Premium Benefits

Malpractice Insurance
Two companies currently offer malpractice insurance for FSO members:

First Professionals Insurance Company (FPIC)

Phone: (800) 741-3742
FPIC offers a 5% discount for malpractice coverage to FSO members. Your FPIC contact person is Shelly Hakes.

Ophthalmic Mutual Insurance Company (OMIC)

Phone: (800) 562-6642
Discount: (The OMIC Premium Discount Process Has Changed) As always, OMIC insured's can earn a risk management premium discount by registering for the annual FSO meeting and attending this cosponsored program. Participants must also turn in an attendance form at the OMIC seminar along with their email address. Participants no longer have to complete the online part after the meeting as OMIC has concluded that they can contact them to survey and determine the effectiveness of the risk management education. OMIC insured�s who are current FSO members can earn an 8% discount; non-FSO members earn a 5% discount. These insurance premium discounts are applied upon renewal with OMIC.

Comp Options & Danna-Gracey
Comp Options & Danna-Gracey are happy to announce a "no-brainer" benefit for FSO members. Your practice could have the opportunity to receive money back from Comp Options in the form of a dividend of up to 24.8% of your workers compensation premium.
