traumajd Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Hi All, I have always been an "employed" PA and have had malpractice insurance provided by my employer. I am now taking a per diem position in which I will be a 1099 provider. I therefore need to get my own malpractice coverage. I'd love some feedback on your experience with the companies you've used. The AAPA recommendation is CM&F which is about $1600. Other companies that I've googled are around $1000 for the same limits of liability. Is CM&F better or just more expensive? Thanks!

Km10052 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 (edited) Hello! I currently own my own practice and have CM & F group. Premium about the same as your quote. So far has been pretty good, make sure you read the fine print on all the policies you are pricing out, as some have specific limitations/exclusions which may be relevant to your practice. My policy under CM & F group does not have any major exclusions that affect my practice after tediously reading all the fine print. Also covers telemedicine. I recommended taking the risk management CME course through AAPA which you can do that day and apply for coverage the next day, saves quite a bit of money and is quick to do. Hope this helps!

Administrator rev ronin Posted November 19, 2022 Administrator Share Posted November 19, 2022 If CM&F were truly superior, why would they buy an exclusive arrangement with JAAPA that prohibits other malpractice insurance firms from advertising in our magazine? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! some 1099 contracts will cover malpractice through the hospital. Mine does. Couldn't hurt to ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
