Who is PAIS? - Agency/Broker History 

Physicians Armor Insurance Services (PAIS) was specifically formed, by its physician founders, to represent their physician colleagues, and help them navigate the difficult world of obtaining insurance, especially medical liability insurance. 

PAIS was started by several well-known Florida physicians & a highly experienced insurance professional. The physician owners of PAIS all practice in FL & they are leaders in their fields of medicine. These physician owners also have significant experience in the medical liability industry in Florida. 

The primary physician at PAIS, Kriston Kent MD MPH, still practices medicine part-time. However, several years ago, Dr Kent obtained an insurance license and has developed, over the many years, a great deal of knowledge & experience in the medical liability arena. 

Another PAIS founder is Steve Adler. Steve is a highly experienced insurance professional who has over 40 years of experience in the medical liability industry.  Steve has strong relationships with many respected FL physicians & medical liability attorneys, & he is well known as an expert in claims management in the FL medical liability arena.

In addition to providing the best opportunities available in medical liability insurance, PAIS now offers options for other insurance products to provide Business Property and Liability Insurance options for our physicians. PAIS has options for Workerman's Compensation Insurance, Cyber Liability Insurance and any other products needed to practice medicine in 2020.  

Dr Kent  & Mr. Adler regularly visit/meet with  physician office managers, CEOs, CFOs, and other decision-makers in the physician group practices to discuss their unique practice needs and help them develop a safe and practical plan to navigate risks in a modern medical practice. Dr Kent also participates in multiple Medical Society meetings and Medical Association meetings throughout the year. These meetings provide his physicians colleagues the opportunity to discuss medical liability options and gain incites into navigating the intricacies of the medical insurance industry.

Finally, PAIS offers a "total package" approach to the needs of medical practices. We have developed a myriad of insurance products and create individual packages of insurance products which are specific to each physician and physicians groups’ needs.
