Most health care professionals need professional liability insurance. Many states require that M.D.s and D.O.s have liability insurance. Even in states that don’t require medical malpractice insurance for doctors, physicians typically need to have medical malpractice insurance coverage in order to get hospital privileges or to participate in HMO or PPO insurance programs.
Premiums for medical malpractice insurance vary depending on the physician’s degree of risk. Typically, Insurers set premiums based on a practitioner’s medical specialty, whether or not they perform surgery or certain procedures, and the geographic location or state in which they practice. Hours worked may also be considered in the computation of the insurance premium. Call us at 800-641-8865 or fill out our online form to learn more.
