Medical Mutual is proud to be the only professional liability company owned and operated by North Carolina physicians. Founded by physician leaders during a time of crisis, Medical Mutual has never strayed from its original mission of protecting our profession with stable, affordable professional liability coverage. Physician leaders of the North Carolina Medical Society formed Medical Mutual in 1975 in response to the escalating medical liability crisis. Today, Medical Mutual has more than 8,300 physician members in North Carolina, Virginia, and Georgia.

The NCMS Foundation has been very fortunate to received support for its Community Practitioner Program from Medical Mutual. Since its inception in 1989, the Community Practitioner Program has assisted more than 400 primary care physicians, physician assistants and family nurse practitioners serve in 145 communities located in 83 counties that are often rural, economically distressed or medically underserved.  Beyond that, 64% of CPP participants remain in their communities beyond their five-year commitment, 73% continue to practice medicine in rural or economically distressed counties and 85% remain in North Carolina. Without the support from Medical Mutual, the Community Practitioner Program would not be able to bring quality health care to those in our state that need it the most.
