Medical Malpractice Insurance for Non- Standard Physician

The Doctors Insurance Agency offers professional liability insurance for physicians and surgeons at competitive premiums for physicians with any claims history, licensing actions, board sanctions, and a variety of other underwriting issues.

For this class of non-standard physicians, there are many discounts available that reflect that loss experience. In fact, to reward physicians who have not had any money paid out in either expenses or reserves, the discounts can be as high as 35 %. In this continuing ‘soft’ market, defined by lower than expected loss reports and payments that are lower than budgeted, non- standard physicians may not have more companies to choose from, but they will have some leverage to reduce their annual premium.

There are even some with large payouts in claims who may be eligible for standard, even preferred malpractice insurance coverage simple due to the extra profit, which drives the insurance carriers appetite to take on risk. The choices for non-standard physician medical malpractice insurance remain stable.

The Doctors’ Insurance Agency has a close affiliation with The Doctors’ Company’s ‘non standard’ physician Professional Liability Insurance Carrier, PULIC.

PULIC specializes in medical liability protection for physicians, surgeons, dentists, podiatrists and other medical professionals who have difficulty finding coverage within the standard markets.

In Northern or Southern California Physicians or other healthcare practitioners who have been denied coverage, or whose policies have been non-renewed or canceled may find coverage solutions.

With Plaintiff’s Lawyers regularly calling on State Medical Licensing Boards when they file claims against physicians, it is difficult to remain completely claims or incident free. The wholly owned subsidiary of The Doctors’ Company, the insurance carrier for physicians who have had to struggle with administrative board, licensing or hospital credentialing issues, PULIC offers medical malpractice insurance for non-standard physicians.

We recently helped a Podiatrist renew his malpractice insurance after being non renewed for incidents and claims that had originated four years ago. But, due to the long term nature of these particular types of claims, professional liability insurance claims have a long life span, with the average claim taking three to four years from first incident/injury to settlement and payment. This podiatrist was non renewed, given 60 days to find a replacement. With quick and experienced advocacy, our agency helped him find coverage; for the same or close to the same premium as previously carried.
