The Cooperative of American Physicians, Inc. was established in 1975 by a group of California physicians to manage the escalating cost of medical professional liability coverage. Two years later, CAP formed the Mutual Protection Trust (MPT), which has earned an A+ (Superior) rating from A.M. Best since 2006. In 2013, CAP created CAPAssurance, A Risk Purchasing Group, allowing hospitals, facilities, and large physician groups access to top-rated liability and risk management services. CAP now supports more than 12,000 of California’s finest physicians through offices in Los Angeles, San Diego, Orange County, Sacramento, and Palo Alto. ©2015
