About Member Benefits


In the current healthcare environment, Conventus members have the exclusive comfort and security of knowing that Conventus is there for you. We are committed to providing a setting where members can safeguard their reputations and practice medicine.

Leaders in Member-Owned and Governed Insurance

Conventus redefines the concept of member-owned and governed medical professional liability insurance. With direct access to claims, underwriting, risk management, financial and legal specialists, you'll experience an unparalleled level of service.

The best part of member ownership is YOU have a direct say in how the company operates. To be more specific, a combined total of 44 member-owners serving on five active Governance Committees and a Board of Governors comprised exclusively of 15 member-owners, guide the direction of the Exchange and represent over 1100 insured physicians. Plus, we offer various member-run committees that seek to add value and provide effective guidance.

You have a Choice and a Voice.

By selecting membership from Conventus, you're choosing to take control of your insurance liability needs - and to provide yourself with the best resources, most up-to-date information and service, and to connect yourself with a growing network of doctors who are aligned with the same goals.

Claims Defense

The test of any professional liability insurance company occurs when its insured confronts the stress of a lawsuit. Our Claims Department offers unparalleled service designed to protect the professional reputation of its members. The Claims Department is staffed exclusively by experienced attorneys who are skilled in claims defense. And there is no professional liability insurer with a lower claim to attorney caseload. This translates into world-class personal service, an aggressive investigation, early case evaluation and an individualized legal strategy calculated to best defend you and protect your interests.

Our goal is to vigorously defend our members against lawsuits without merit. What's more, you have a say every step of the way. No resolution of the case will be taken without your approval and express consent.

What Physicians Say
ABOUT Conventus

"I’ve always felt that I didn’t have any control over my insurance company or my premiums. Moving to Conventus changed all that. Conventus gives me ownership, and the opportunity to have a voice in the direction of the company. Knowing that the Conventus Board of Governors is all physician-members makes me confident that Conventus will remain focused on providing affordable insurance coverage and doing what is best for doctors."
