Understanding Nurse Practitioner malpractice insurance.

Because Nurse Practitioners (NPs) practice across such a wide variety of settings and specialties, and because states vary in their rules and regulations for NPs, it is important that our insurance agents take the time to get to know your unique practice and employment situation. This way, our agents can find you the most appropriate nurse practitioner malpractice insurance policy to ensure you are covered adequately. We do this by working with all of the major medical malpractice insurance carriers in your state. By having relationships with so many carriers, we can also get you the best price.

Be sure to ask your insurance agent if you qualify for any professional discounts. You may qualify for a discount if you are “new to practice,” have not had a recent claim and/or are willing to complete an online risk management course with your carrier.

How much does it cost for nurse practitioner malpractice insurance?

Rates vary greatly from state to state. The cost of nurse practitioner malpractice insurance can range anywhere from $800 to $2,200. When shopping for coverage, always choose an agent who understands your unique situation so they can place you with the right insurance company.

In addition to serving as high-level team members in medical practices and healthcare settings, NPs now serve as primary caregivers for many Americans in response to a shortage of primary care physicians. According to the American Association of Nurse Practitioners, Americans make more than 916 million visits to NPs each year. And the future for NPs is expected to flourish. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the employment of Nurse Practitioners is expected to continue to grow during the next several years. As of 2020, there are more than 325,000 NPs practicing, according to the AANP.
