Ask what type of malpractice insurance is provided before signing on with a new employer
Employers typically provide physician malpractice insurance and it should be evaluated before signing.
Most employers provide professional liability insurance, also known as physician malpractice insurance, as a part of the employment benefits package. Even if a physician is employed as an independent contractor, in most cases, the corporation or group covers the cost of this benefit. But what exactly are they likely to cover?
On the surface, physician malpractice insurance seems simple enough, but there are many factors that must be taken into account. A working knowledge of how this type of insurance works is required to accurately assess the coverage being offered.
