Tail coverage or buying own malpractice??


Recommended Posts

Hi!

 

I recently accepted a job in a GI private practice. They offer claims-made insurance and don't provide tail coverage. I'm trying to figure out if I should buy my own occurrence insurance or just save in the event I have to buy tail coverage. Can someone tell me the average cost of your own occurrence insurance vs tail coverage? Any advice on which route I should take??

I looked into occurrence many years ago from the one the AAPA endorses.  It was close to $6000.  I can't imagine what it is now.  Is the policy being offered in your name specifically or a group?  I ask because when I left clinical a few years ago I just took over the policy since it was in my name.  Did not buy tail.  Just keeping the policy utd with my paying the premium $3000.
