Q1 Broker News

 

Dear Valued Broker Partner,

 

We'd like to share a few Curi updates about products and services designed to simplify things for you and your clients. 

 

Important Update

 

The medical professional liability industry faced a difficult year in 2025 driven by market shifts, legal developments, and claim costs above forecast. Across the industry, social and economic inflation continue to fuel larger verdicts, heavier litigation, and rising costs. As a result, Curi posted an unprofitable 2025 with an elevated combined ratio. While these pressures are not unique to Curi, we’re clear about what it means and what must change. 

 

We are taking decisive and deliberate action. This includes sharper underwriting and limit discipline, targeted action on persistently unprofitable accounts, strategic rate adjustments aligned to risk, and a deliberate reduction of exposure in select states and classes to strengthen portfolio quality.

 

We remain financially strong, with over $2.5B in total assets and over $800M in capital and surplus, and are committed to providing insurance and peace of mind to healthcare providers well into the future, as we have done for the last 50+ years.

      Strategic rate approach

       

      Each year, we conduct a review of our premium rates to ensure we best align with current market trends. Based on these and the events mentioned in the update above, here are a few specific rate updates and pending filings: 

      • Georgia: Effective May 1, 2026, we filed an MPL rate increase for our Georgia medical practice members. The filed change included a 9.9% base rate increase statewide. Our overall rate targets for GA are 14.9%. 

      • New Jersey: Effective January 1, 2026, we filed an MPL rate increase for our New Jersey medical practice members. This included an 8% base rate increase and the removal of the cap on the corporate entity charge up to 10%. Based on the updated details above, effective May 1, 2026, base rates will increase by up to 10%.  

      • Pennsylvania: Effective October 1, 2025, we increased our MPL rates for our Pennsylvania medical practice members. The filed change included an 8% base rate increase. Based on the updated details above, effective May 1, 2026, base rates will increase by up to 13%. 

      Curi is financially strong and committed to providing insurance and peace of mind to healthcare providers well into the future, as we have done for the last 50 years. We will continue to focus on servicing those that matter most… our partners and shared clients.

                  As we are completing our annual records review at Curi, we're reaching out for your assistance with a quick but important task. 

                   

                  As you know, contacts often change within a practice, and we want to make sure we’re able to reach them with important information at the right email address.

                   

                  To make things easier, we can accept a completed roster from your agency management system. Please ensure the corresponding Curi policy number is included with the contact record.

                      Why having accurate data matters

                       

                      Though it is our standard practice to share a preview of client communications with you in advance, there are times when we need to reach clients directly—and having current information makes all the difference.

                       

                      We utilize this data to communicate: 

                       

                           • Regulatory-required notifications
