The Cooperative of American Physicians (CAP) promoted Andrew Cate to senior vice president of CAP Claims Services, overseeing claims operations for the organization's two medical professional liability coverage programs.

Cate joined CAP in 2015 and most recently served as vice president of claims services for Cooperative of American Physicians Insurance Co. (CAPIC), a wholly owned subsidiary that provides medical malpractice coverage to large medical groups and healthcare facilities.

In his new role, Cate will oversee claims operations for both CAPIC and the Mutual Protection Trust (MPT), which provides medical malpractice coverage to more than 13,000 independent California physicians.

“Andrew's steady leadership, deep claims experience, and commitment to CAP's core values have made an indelible impact across the organization,” said CAP CEO Sarah Scher.

During his tenure at CAPIC, Cate developed a claims services approach tailored to the needs of individual healthcare organizations.
