     (INCLUDING EXHIBITS) OF THE SCHEDULE, AND THE SIGNATURE ATTESTATION.

Item 1.  Security and Issuer.

     This Schedule 13D Statement relates to the common stock, par value $.01 per
share (the "Common Stock"), of NCRIC Group, Inc., a District of Columbia
Corporation ("NCRIC Group"). The address of the principal executive office of
the NCRIC Group is 1115 30th Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20007.

Item 2.  Identity and Background.

     This statement is filed on behalf of NCRIC, A Mutual Holding Company, a
District of Columbia mutual insurance holding company (the "Mutual Holding
Company"),and NCRIC Holdings, Inc., a District of Columbia corporation ("NCRIC
Holdings"), and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Mutual Holding Company. The
Mutual Holding Company and NCRIC Holdings are the controlling shareholders of
NCRIC Group, which owns all of the outstanding capital stock of NCRIC, Inc., a
medical professional liability company. NCRIC Group is also the owner of various
other businesses which operate primarily in the medical professional liability
insurance and practice management and financial services areas. The address of
the principal business and offices of each of the reporting persons is 1115 30th
Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20007.

     During the last five years, neither NCRIC Holdings nor the Mutual Holding

been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
misdemeanors) nor have they been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or

have they been or are they subject to a judgment, decree or final order
enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

     In 1998, the Board of Governors of National Capital Reciprocal Insurance
Company adopted the plan of reorganization, pursuant to which the Mutual Holding
Company was formed as a mutual insurance holding company and National Capital
Reciprocal Insurance Company was converted into a stock life insurance company
and its name was changed to NCRIC, Inc.

     As part of National Capital Reciprocal Insurance Company's reorganization,
all of the shares of capital stock of NCRIC, Inc. were issued to the Mutual
Holding Company. Subsequently, the Mutual Holding Company contributed all of its
shares of capital stock of NCRIC, Inc. to NCRIC Holdings, which contributed the
NCRIC, Inc. shares to NCRIC Group, its then wholly-owned subsidiary. Under this
structure, NCRIC Group is an intermediate holding company, with NCRIC Holdings
as its direct controlling shareholder, and the Mutual Holding Company as its
ultimate parent.

     Prior to the initial public offering of NCRIC Group Common Stock, which
closed on July 29, 1999, NCRIC Holdings owned 1,000 shares of NCRIC Group's
Common Stock, representing all of the then outstanding shares of NCRIC Group's
capital stock.

     At the closing of NCRIC Group's initial public offering, the 1,000 shares
of NCRIC Group Common Stock previously issued to NCRIC Holdings were cancelled
and 2,220,000 shares of NCRIC Group Common Stock were issued to NCRIC Holdings.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

     As a result of the reorganization of National Capital Reciprocal Insurance
Company into a mutual insurance holding company structure, the Mutual Holding
Company is required by District of Columbia law to own or control at least a
majority of the outstanding voting shares of NCRIC, Inc. In compliance with this
requirement, approximately 59% of the issued and outstanding shares of NCRIC
Group Common Stock are owned by NCRIC Holdings, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Mutual Holding Company.

     As a result of such ownership, the Mutual Holding Company and NCRIC
Holdings form a group which controls NCRIC Group (the "NCRIC Control Group").
The NCRIC Control Group acquired its NCRIC Group Common Stock to ensure that the
Mutual Holding Company exercised ownership and control of at least a majority of
the outstanding voting shares of NCRIC Group Common Stock, as required by
District of Columbia law.

     From time to time, the NCRIC Control Group may acquire or dispose of shares
of NCRIC Group Common Stock, depending on market conditions and other factors.
However, the NCRIC Control Group must own at least a majority of the NCRIC Group
Common Stock entitled to vote at a meeting of NCRIC Group stockholders.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

     (a)  As of the date of this Schedule 13D, the aggregate number of shares of
NCRIC Group Common Stock beneficially owned by NCRIC Holdings (directly) and the
Mutual Holding Company (indirectly) is 2,220,000, representing approximately 59%
of the outstanding shares of NCRIC Group Common Stock. Information concerning
beneficial ownership of shares of NCRIC Group Common Stock by officers and
directors of NCRIC Holdings and the Mutual Holding Company is provided on
Schedule 1.

     (b)  NCRIC Holdings has sole power to vote and dispose of all of the shares
of NCRIC Group Common Stock beneficially owned by it. There are no shares of
NCRIC Group Common Stock with respect to which the Mutual Holding Company has
power to dispose or vote, except through its control of NCRIC Group. Information
concerning beneficial ownership of NCRIC Group Common Stock by officers and
directors is provided on Schedule 1.

     (c)  Except as disclosed in Item 3, there have been no transactions in the
shares of NCRIC Group Common Stock that were effected during the past sixty days
by NCRIC Holdings or the Mutual Holding Company. All of the individuals listed
on Schedule 1 purchased their NCRIC Group Common Stock in the initial public
offering which closed on July 29, 1999. To the knowledge of NCRIC Holdings and
the Mutual Holding Company, none of the share holdings listed on Schedule 1 has
changed since July 29, 1999.

     (d)-(e)   Not applicable.

Item 6.   Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect
          to Securities of the Issuer.

          See Item 4.

          By virtue of their control of a majority of the voting power of NCRIC
Group, NCRIC Holdings (directly) and the Mutual Holding Company (indirectly)
have the ability to appoint all of the members of NCRIC Group's Board of
Directors. As noted on Schedule 1, several executive officers and directors of
