NewGrad88 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Hi there, I was offered an internal medicine position (outpatient) in which the malpractice insurance is covered by the doctor. However, he would like me to be under his policy, where I would share the $1 / $3 mil. limits with him. When I called a few malpractice insurance companies for further details, they said that I do not need tail coverage if I am sharing limits with the supervising physician. However, if I were to get my own claims-made policy without sharing limits with the doctor, then I WOULD have to get tail coverage. Has anyone had experience with that? Can someone please explain to me why a tail coverage is not needed when you are sharing limits with the doctor? Does that mean I am still protected if I leave the Practice A and a claim was filed after I have moved onto Practice B? Is it better to have my own claims made policy or to share the limits with him so that I do not have to get tail coverage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
