Frequently Asked Questions About Malpractice Insurance
Do I need malpractice insurance if I work for a hospital or group?
Many employers provide coverage, but it may not protect you fully—or after you leave. We help assess whether a personal policy is needed.
What’s tail coverage and do I need it?
Tail coverage extends protection for claims made after you leave a practice. It’s often recommended for claims-made policies when switching carriers.
Does malpractice insurance cover telehealth services?
Many carriers now include telehealth, but it depends on your license, state laws, and platform. We’ll help confirm coverage specifics.
Is malpractice the same as professional liability?
Yes, in function. “Malpractice” usually refers to healthcare; “professional liability” is the broader term for service-based professions.
How much coverage do I need?
Standard limits vary by specialty, state, and employer contracts. We help you meet minimums and assess if additional protection is warranted.
