GreenSea Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I am leaving a burnout primary care job after 2 years for a fresh start at another primary care clinic. I'll be seeing many less patients per day and lower acuity. I am ruminating over some details about malpractice for the new job. They cover me for claims made malpractice, but the tail isn't covered until I stay for at least 2 years. Is this typical? So basically if the job goes south I'll be paying a large amount for tail coverage to leave the organization. Thoughts on this? Is this a red flag? How much is tail coverage typically for primary care PAs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have to check with insurance companies, but if I recall correctly the bill is usually generated by doing something like charging 150% of whatever your final annual amount was. You annual amount usually goes up each year because as you see more patients there is more risk exposure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
