What is medical malpractice insurance?

Medical malpractice insurance may help address covered allegations that a healthcare provider's professional services involved negligence, an error, or an omission. Any defense, settlement, judgment, or other payment depends on the policy form, claims-made conditions, policy terms, limits, retention, exclusions, and applicable law.

Do all healthcare providers need malpractice insurance?

Malpractice insurance requirements can vary by profession, licensure, employer, facility privileges, contract, specialty, and scope of practice. A provider can confirm applicable requirements with the relevant licensing board, employer, facility, or counsel and compare available coverage terms with an insurance professional.

What is the difference between occurrence and claims-made malpractice policies?

An occurrence form may respond to a covered incident occurring during the policy period, even if the claim is reported later, subject to the form's terms. A claims-made form may respond when a claim is first made and reported during the policy period or applicable reporting period, subject to any retroactive date and other conditions. Extended reporting or tail options may be available when coverage ends or changes, but availability and scope depend on the policy and carrier.

Does healthcare insurance cover HIPAA violations?

Cyber or privacy-liability insurance may help address covered costs related to a privacy or security incident, such as specified incident response, notification, legal defense, or regulatory matters. Whether a policy responds to HIPAA-related allegations, fines, penalties, or other amounts depends on the policy terms, applicable law, insurability, limits, retention, and exclusions. Insurance does not replace privacy and security compliance obligations.

What is tail coverage?

Tail coverage, also called an extended reporting period, may allow certain claims to be reported after a claims-made policy ends when they relate to services performed after the applicable retroactive date and before expiration. It is not automatic in every situation; availability, duration, cost, and scope depend on the policy, carrier, transition arrangement, and terms.

How much malpractice coverage do I need?

Coverage needs may depend on specialty, patient services, licensure, employer or facility requirements, contracts, patient volume, claim history, risk controls, selected retention, and available carrier forms. Limit requirements can vary by organization or contract. An insurance professional can help compare available forms and limits against the provider's stated operations, but no limit or coverage outcome is guaranteed.
