NAPA,
Calif., Oct. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Due to
disruption to member medical practices from Hurricane Helene and
consistent with direction from state insurance regulation offices,
The Doctors Company will adjust policy cancellation and premium
installment due dates for affected members. Premium due dates have
generally been extended in Florida, Georgia, North
Carolina, South Carolina,
and Tennessee, with Florida extending from September 26, 2024, to November 26, 2024.

practices in the storm's aftermath. Affected members should contact
their agent or Member Services at (800) 421-2368 with any
questions.
"We will do everything we can to assist our affected members,"
