What is Medical Malpractice Insurance and What Does It Cover?

Medical malpractice insurance provides essential professional liability protection in the healthcare industry. Our coverage safeguards healthcare professionals financially when faced with malpractice claims. This full-spectrum medical insurance malpractice coverage extends to damages, legal costs, and other expenses associated with malpractice claims, ensuring you can practice with confidence.


Who Needs Medical Malpractice Insurance Coverage and Why?


Healthcare professionals at every level should have medical malpractice insurance. Physicians and surgeons rely on malpractice coverage to protect their practices, while specialists, such as dentists and podiatrists, carry malpractice insurance to safeguard their work. Medical support teams, including physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and certified nurse midwives, need this essential coverage to deliver care with peace of mind.

Through insurance companies, medical malpractice coverage protects organizations, their employees, and volunteers working in medical roles. Your facility, whether a hospital system, outpatient center, accountable care organization, or international operation, benefits from tailored protection that meets your specific requirements. When purchasing liability insurance with Coverys, you receive coverage designed for your unique needs, allowing you to maintain focus on exceptional patient care.

Selection of Insurance Coverages Available

Claims-Made

Claims-made coverage ensures policyholders are protected from the moment a policy begins. When medical professional liability claims arise, we stand ready to defend policyholder interests, protecting against covered incidents that occur on or after a retroactive date when reported during the active policy period.

Modified Claims-Made

Modified claims-made coverage provides prepaid tail coverage on a claims-made basis. This protects policyholders against covered medical professional liability claims that occur on or after a retroactive date and are reported during the policy period or an extended reporting period, if applicable. Policies include an indefinite reporting period endorsement at no additional premium.

Occurrence

Occurrence coverage provides protection for covered medical professional liability claims that occur during the policy period.
