Understanding Physician Assistant malpractice insurance?

Because PAs have a high level of training, they can work in a wide variety of healthcare settings, including physicians’ offices, hospitals, their own practices, patients’ homes and more. They can also perform a large range of duties that include prescribing medication, ordering tests, giving vaccinations and making diagnoses. This is why it is extremely important our insurance agents take the time to understand your unique employment situation so you can get the physician assistant malpractice insurance coverage you need in the event of a med-mal lawsuit. Our goal is to understand your unique situation and get you the correct coverage at the best price.

How much does malpractice insurance cost for PAs?

The cost of physician assistant malpractice insurance varies greatly dependent on your scope of practice and locality. PAs can buy both claims made and occurrence coverage. When shopping for coverage, always choose an agent that understands your unique situation so they can place you with the right insurance company.
