Medical Malpractice Insurance

Updated

What does medical malpractice insurance cover for healthcare providers in the Central Valley?

Medical malpractice insurance covers claims of negligence or error in patient care, legal defense costs even for claims that don't hold up, and settlements and judgments up to your policy limits. Physicians, clinics, dentists, therapists, and allied-health providers need it because general liability won't cover these claims, and it is often required to maintain hospital privileges or payer contracts. Insurance City shops your specialty across the carriers that write it and explains claims-made coverage and tail before you sign. Call (209) 670-1556 or request a quote.
