NewtonsApple Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Leaving first job out of school to be with SO who landed dream job out of state. I was not sent any paperwork regarding tail insurance, etc. Is that normal for no contact after the 90 days is in, or should I contact the group asking for specific information?

rcdavis Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 You should have, or have access to, your med-mal policy.. If not the actual policy itself. Call that company, determine your insurance status with them, ask for the tail policy number ( if different from the basic). If insurance does not have tail info, call office manager, and ask her for tail insurance company, insurance policy number etc. tell her you are needing this for credentials at a new job. Should be pretty easy to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetMeOuttaThisMess Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Assuming that the policy wasn't an occurrence based one at which point they wouldn't need tail coverage. "Fig Newton" (craving sweets at the moment), what type of policy were you covered by? Out of curiosity, do you know the name of the carrier? One recommendation that I offer to all new grads, get a copy of the declaration statement clearly showing that you are covered; in other words, don't take the employer's word for it that you are indeed covered. To me, it's worth a grand annually if in a PC practice for minimal occurrence based coverage ($100/300K) just to know that I have representation for myself, and not the group. If you are in a tort reform state like I am it may be all you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
