Safeguard Your Professional Practice

Specialized malpractice insurance designed to protect medical professionals, legal experts, and other licensed practitioners.

Why You Need Malpractice Insurance

Errors are a reality of any profession. The most diligent doctor, attorney, or expert might encounter a dissatisfied client, make a judgment error, or face a baseless allegation. A single claim can result in financial losses equivalent to years of work and, even more damaging, it can ruin the professional reputation that you have spent your entire career building.

Frequently Asked Questions

It’s professional liability coverage for healthcare providers. It helps pay legal defense and settlements/judgments if a patient alleges negligence, errors, or omissions tied to your professional services.

Physicians, surgeons, dentists, nurse practitioners, PAs, RNs/LPNs, therapists, counselors, med spas, clinics, locums, and telehealth providers. If you diagnose, treat, prescribe, advise, or perform procedures—you’re in scope.

Claims-made responds when the claim is made (reported) and your policy is active—usually needs a “tail” if you cancel or move carriers.
Occurrence responds based on when the incident occurred, even if the claim is filed years later—no tail needed.

Tail lets you report claims after a claims-made policy ends for incidents that happened while it was active. You’ll want it when switching carriers, retiring, or leaving an employer. It’s a one-time purchase and can be pricey—plan ahead.

Common options are $1M per claim / $3M aggregate or $2M/$4M. Hospital privileges, contracts, and state norms often dictate minimums. Higher-risk specialties or procedures may warrant higher limits.
