The American Academy of Insurance Medicine (AAIM)

The American Academy of Insurance Medicine (AAIM) is among one of the oldest medical specialty organizations in the United States, founded in 1889, and is open to anyone practicing insurance medicine. Their physician members typically serve as medical directors to Life, Disability Income (DI), and Long-Term Care (LTC) insurance companies. AAIM also provides education and membership to underwriters and other healthcare professionals. Members may serve these companies as consultants for underwriting and claims management. Other roles include medical and actuarial research, underwriting guideline development, employee health education and care, and as a professional liaison to the medical community, legislative bodies and regulatory agencies.

AAIM Looks to the Future
AAIM believes that medical science, especially the science of mortality and morbidity, is the basis for the practice of insurance medicine. Insurance medicine professionals must use that science to support the insurance industry in providing fair and accurate pricing, underwriting and claims service for its customers.

AAIM believes that insurance medicine will continue to play a unique and valuable role by integrating the science of medicine with the business of insurance. They will continue to support this role to help ensure that the public receives the optimum value that insurance products can bring, along with the fair and ethical consideration that each individual deserves.
