NAPA, Calif., Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AM Best has upgraded The Doctors Company’s financial strength rating (FSR) to A+ (Superior) from A (Excellent) and the long-term issuer credit rating (ICR) to “aa-” (Superior) from “a+” (Excellent). The outlook of these ratings is stable. The FSR of A+, long-term ICR of “aa-“, and stable outlook have been affirmed for The Doctors Company, an Interinsurance Exchange, and the following subsidiaries, which are part of The Doctors Company Insurance Group (TDC or TDC Group):  

• The Doctors Company, An Interinsurance Exchange
• TDC National Assurance Company
• TDC Specialty Insurance Company
• TDC Special Risks Insurance Company

The FSR of A+ is assigned only to select companies with superior ability to meet ongoing insurance obligations.

These ratings reflect The Doctors Company’s balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as strongest, as well as its adequate operating performance, favorable business profile, and appropriate enterprise risk management.

The acquisition of ProAssurance Corporation (PRA) has further solidified The Doctors Company’s strong market position. AM Best recognizes the company’s expanded scale and diversified portfolio, as well as its continued financial strength and stability.

“These ratings from AM Best reflect the solid financial position of our companies,” said Marco Vanderlaan, Chief Financial Officer, The Doctors Company and TDC Group. “Our recent acquisition of ProAssurance allows us to help even more healthcare professionals meet the challenges of a constantly shifting landscape.”
