About Positive Physicians Insurance Company

In 2004, after two years of operating as a risk retention group, Positive Physicians Insurance Exchange (PPIX) received approval from the Pennsylvania Department of Insurance to transition to an insurance exchange model, allowing PPIX to develop an optimal alternative to traditional malpractice coverage options available to physicians in Pennsylvania. Since the transition in 2004, PPIX has grown significantly to insure all specialties. In addition, PPIX expanded into New Jersey, Delaware, Ohio, and Maryland.

In January of 2017, PPIX took over the management and integration of two other Pennsylvania domiciled exchanges, Professional Casualty Association (PCA) and Physicians Insurance Program Exchange (PIPE).

On March 27, 2019, PPIX was successful in merging the three exchanges, creating Positive Physicians Insurance Company, which remains a Pennsylvania domiciled carrier admitted in 7 states: PA, NJ, DE, MD, OH, MI, and SC.

On April, 1, 2019, Positive Physicians Insurance Company was listed on NASDAQ under its holding company, Positive Physicians Holdings, Inc. (PPHI).
