COPIC Companies
COPIC Companies was founded in 1981 by a group of Colorado physicians who wanted a medical liability insurer attuned to clinical realities. The firm has remained physician-led and is headquartered in Denver, United States. COPIC writes medical professional liability insurance for physicians, advanced practice providers, group practices, clinics, facilities, and hospitals. Coverage is offered in multiple states in the Midwest and Rocky Mountain regions; through its COPIC Risk Retention Group, a mutual owned by its members, the firm provides nationwide coverage (per the firm). Its subsidiary COPIC Financial offers property and casualty insurance, group benefits, individual disability and life insurance, financial planning, and retirement plan services. The firm also operates the 3Rs Program, recognized by The New England Journal of Medicine, which helps physicians communicate with patients after adverse outcomes. The firm employs a team of physicians, nurses, defense counsel, claims consultants, and underwriters to support insureds. The COPIC Medical Foundation, a 501(c)(3) established in 1991, has provided over $14 million to improve patient care and medical outcomes. In 2026, COPIC received a Top Workplaces award from The Denver Post for the second consecutive year (per the firm). COPIC's structural differentiator is its physician-founded, healthcare-focused identity — it operates not merely as an insurer but as an accredited continuing medical education provider and patient safety research organization. Its endorsement by nine state medical associations reinforces its deep integration into the clinical community (per the firm).
