My hospital/practice provides med mal insurance. Do I need more?

Even if your employer provides coverage, here are some important things to consider that your employer's policies may exclude or not provide coverage for:

• Claims of one employee against another employee
• Claims filed against you from work at a previous employer
• Lost wages while you attend legal proceedings
• Sufficient coverage for a claim against multiple people

With your own policy, the resources aren't shared among multiple insureds, so you'll have access to your own legal representation.

How much does medical malpractice insurance cost?

There are a number of factors considered to determine the cost of your medical malpractice insurance.

Examples include:

• Years of experience
• Education
• State(s) where you work
• Time spent on the job

Medical Malpractice Insurance Coverages:

Medical Malpractice Coverage: Protection against claims of negligence or mistakes which cause bodily harm to another.

Defense Counsel: If a covered claim is filed against you, this provides a lawyer for you with experience in medical malpractice. It also pays for related defense costs (e.g., lawyer fees, court fees, expert witness costs).

Worldwide Coverage: Your policy travels with you, as long as the claim is brought against you in the United States (including U.S. territories or possessions).

Good Samaritan Coverage: If you provide medical care to someone outside of your primary work setting and that person files a claim against you, your policy would still apply.

Sexual Misconduct/Abuse: If (non-criminal) allegations of sexual misconduct are made against you, this provides counsel to represent you and pay defense costs—unless or until the sexual misconduct or abuse is determined to have occurred.

Information Privacy Coverage (HIPAA): If a claim alleges that you violated privacy rules relating to private health information, this provides you with access to counsel and will reimburse you for costs related to HIPAA proceedings.

License Protection: If you're involved in a licensing board action or proceeding, this provides you with legal counsel.

Defendant Expense Benefit/Deposition Representation: If the insurer asks you to attend litigation activities (e.g., a deposition), this benefit will reimburse you for actual lost wages and any necessary expenses you incur.

Reputation Coverage: If you face a threat to your professional reputation, this can provide you with a crisis management/public relations consultant to help clear your name.

Business/General Liability Coverage: The policy applies if someone files a claim against you alleging that your premises or operations caused them bodily injury or harm. Available for an additional charge.

Medicare/Medicaid Reimbursement Endorsement: If you're audited by either Medicare or Medicaid, this offers reimbursement for related accountant or attorney costs that result from the investigation or defense of the audit proceedings.

How soon can I get coverage?

You set the start date of your policy, which can be today or up to a year from now.
