OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLA. – As of Jan. 1, Drew Smith & Associates has partnered with INSURICA, furthering its experience and expertise in the healthcare sector.
“Drew Smith and his team are a huge contribution to the healthcare practice,” Vice President and Healthcare Practice Leader Phillip Smith said. “Whatever a physician needs, Drew handles it. He truly has a unique skill set.”
Founded in 2004, Drew Smith and & Associates represents physicians, providing medical malpractice insurance and small group insurance plans.

Moving to INSURICA brings you to another level and presents a wonderful opportunity to grow given the available resources.”
Drew brings a talented team, consisting of Leisa Hall and Cassie Williams, who all add valuable expertise and experience to INSURICA’s Healthcare Practice, Phillip Smith said.
