Why Is Malpractice Insurance Important?
Doctors in most states are required to carry Malpractice Insurance, and most are likely to use it at some point in their career. One 2017 study by Medscape found 55% of physicians have been sued for malpractice. The top five of these specialties included:
- Surgery — 85 percent
- OB-GYN and women’s health — 85 percent
- Otolaryngology — 78 percent
- Urology — 77 percent
- Orthopedics — 76 percent
This is an unfortunate reality for those who practice medicine. WaterStreet Company makes it easy for carriers to cater to the needs of doctors across the country, allowing medical professionals to do their jobs with less stress and more protections.
What is Covered Under Malpractice Insurance?
According to the Insurance Information Institute, a range of must-haves are included under Malpractice Insurance coverage, however, these details will depend on the carrier’s offerings to the policyholder.
- Attorneys’ fees and court costs
- Arbitration costs
- Settlement costs
- Punitive and compensatory damages
- Medical damages
Each carrier’s offerings may contain unique restrictions and coverages. It’s important for carriers to use solutions that are flexible and tailored to the details of their plans while also allowing for a simple workflow for the user to easily understand.
