Insurance is a competitive business, shop around. There are several well regarded independent brokers that advertise on VAF. Give one a call.I was getting ready to renew my liability-only policy today for my RV-12 when I discovered that AVEMCO now requires all pilots over 75 to get a yearly flight review and a yearly basic med. I built an LSA so I wouldn't have to have even basic med. Now this.

OP said basic med exam, which implies completion of the CME Checklist. Yearly physicals are simply not indicated from a medical standpoint unless tracking the progression of a known condition.What does a Class 1 medical exam get you that a regular check-up with your PCP doesn't? Other than doing it, at your own expense, twice a year instead of once a year, using (hopefully) your insurance?
I completely fail to understand what you're saying here. I didn't ask about the OP's BasicMed exam, nor the advisability of an annual physical with your PCP. Or the pluses and minuses for the AME (I couldn't care less about *their* liability). I only asked what a Class 1 gets you that an annual with your regular doc doesn't (mine includes EKG, and costs me precisely $0). Other than the expense, of course, and the opportunity to unnecessarily get yourself examined out of EVER being able to go BasicMed (and perhaps ending your flying for good).OP said basic med exam, which implies completion of the CME Checklist.

An FAA class 1 medical exam includes a few mandatory tests like the EKG, and increased liability for the AME.
