Nurse practitioners secure affordable malpractice insurance today
Types of Malpractice Insurance Available
There are two main types of malpractice insurance: occurrence-based and claims-made. Occurrence-based policies cover incidents that occur during the policy period, regardless of when the claim is filed. Claims-made policies, on the other hand, only cover claims made while the policy is active. It's essential to understand these differences when selecting a policy, as they can impact long-term coverage needs.
Many insurers offer specialized policies tailored to the unique needs of nurse practitioners. These policies often include additional benefits such as license protection, personal injury coverage, and even coverage for telehealth services, which have become increasingly relevant2.
