Our History

Our agency was formed in 1975 as a subsidiary of the Medical & Chirurgical Faculty of the State of Maryland (now known as MedChi, The Maryland State Medical Society). Here is a snapshot of our timeline:

1975

MedChi Insurance Agency was formed with the primary purpose of becoming a direct broker for Medical Mutual of Maryland offering professional liability insurance to physicians and practice groups. In addition, administration service for the insurance fund shifted to the agency.

1989

1994

Maryland Small Group Reform (MSGR) allows for small businesses to seek group health plans. This led to the departure from the association health plan and practices were able to maintain their own health insurance. Our focus moved from the association health plan to expanding direct health insurance offerings through health insurance carrier and third party administrator relationships.

1995 – 2019
