Idaho

Physician Resources by State

MIEC provides medical malpractice insurance to more physicians in Idaho than any other carrier and have provided continuous service since 1977. We enjoy a very close working relationship with the Idaho Medical Association (IMA) and its Medical Executive sits on the Board of our Management Company (MUC). Dr. Ron Dorn of Boise serves on our Board of Governors. In addition, we have maintained a long-standing office for our local claims representative located in IMA’s building in Boise.

We recommend the following organizations as physician resources for better well-being. Both organizations are independent nonprofits that advocate for and offer programs that assist physicians in Idaho.
