AM Best Upgrades Financial Strength Ratings for The Doctors Company

NAPA, Calif., Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AM Best has upgraded The Doctors Company's financial strength rating (FSR) to A+ (Superior) from A (Excellent) and the long-term issuer credit rating (ICR) to "aa-" (Superior) from "a+" (Excellent). The outlook of these ratings is stable. The FSR of A+, long-term ICR of "aa-", and stable outlook have been affirmed for The Doctors Company, an Interinsurance Exchange, and the following subsidiaries, which are part of The Doctors Company Insurance Group (TDC or TDC Group):  

• The Doctors Company, An Interinsurance Exchange
