Member-Owned Makes a Difference

Our passion and your purpose.

A better way to get covered, created for and by acupuncturists who care.

Our story: Purpose-driven protection

Acupuncture Select by MIEC RRG launched in 2025, but our story begins decades earlier. The Medical Insurance Exchange of California (MIEC) was founded in 1975 as one of the first physician-member-owned malpractice insurers on the West Coast. For fifty years, we’ve been relentlessly defending good medicine and putting our members’ interests first.

Around 2000, we began extending coverage to California acupuncturists, adapting our traditional physician malpractice policy to serve this growing professional community. Over the next twenty-five years, it became clear that acupuncturists have unique needs that deserve more than an adaptation; you deserve coverage designed specifically for how you practice.

Insurance by acupuncturists, for acupuncturists

From the treatments you provide to the spaces you create for healing to the tools you use, the way you care for patients isn’t like anyone else. We came to understand that, to truly serve acupuncturists, something entirely new needed to be created by those who understand the profession best.

That's why Acupuncture Select by MIEC RRG was born.

Complete Protection that Works as Hard as You Do

Coverage done better

We’ve taken our decades of experience protecting good medicine and combined it with modern technology to eliminate the traditional “red tape” of the insurance industry. Quote, apply, bind, and manage your policy online—it’s really that simple. Because your time should be spent healing patients, not navigating complicated insurance processes.

A tradition of best-in-class coverage

Today, we’re bringing tailored professional liability insurance to acupuncture practitioners and practices across an even wider geographic region. While Acupuncture Select by MIEC RRG might be our newest program, it’s backed by more than fifty years of experience protecting good medicine and putting members first, and counting. We’re here when you’re ready.
