Program History

Background: The Medical Society Insurance Trust was established in Marion County nearly 40 years ago.

Purpose: Created by physician employers in the private practice of medicine as a way to provide comprehensive medical coverage to their employees and families.

Growth: Since that time, the program has expanded to 12 total counties state-wide and continues to offer affordable insurance solutions to independent physician practices.

Sustainability: The program is governed by a Board of Trustees made up of local leadership and decision makers to manage risk and ensure long term program success. 

Program Advantages

Plan Variety: Groups can offer up to 11 different health plans through Florida Blue.

Rate Stability: Using a funding strategy called Minimum Premium, the Trust functions under one, state-wide program in an effort to further stabilize healthcare costs for both the practice and the employees.

Large Group Benefits: Joining the Marion County Medical Society, Inc - Insurance Trust allows small groups access to large group benefits and rates.

Statewide Reserves: The Minimum Premium funding structure is designed to protect the reserve balance for the program's continued success. As the statewide plan performance improves, premium holidays will provide additional rate relief!
