Medical Malpractice, Placed and Reviewed Properly
Medical malpractice insurance, also called medical professional liability, protects physicians and providers when a patient alleges injury from negligence. Two policies with the same limit can behave very differently when a claim hits. The form, the limit structure, and the fine print decide whether you are protected or just technically insured.
New York is one of the most expensive medical malpractice markets in the country, and rates and carrier appetite shift by specialty. We are independent, so we take your submission to the specialty and wholesale markets that write your specialty, compare the forms rather than just the price, and read the policy before you sign it. You work with a principal who handles the account directly.
What We Check Before You Bind
- Claims-made vs. occurrence – which trigger you have, and what it would cost to change
- Tail and nose coverage – protection for past work when you switch carriers, retire, or leave a group
- Consent to settle and the hammer clause – whether you can refuse a settlement without being penalized for it
- Limits and defense costs – whether defense erodes your limit, and whether a group shares one limit across every provider
- License, regulatory, and cyber – the coverage around the policy that providers tend to discover too late
Who We Place It For
- Physicians and surgeons
- Medical groups and practices
- Nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and CRNAs
- Allied health and therapy providers
- Clinics and outpatient facilities

How We Work
If you already have coverage, send us the policy. We will tell you what it covers, what it does not, and whether the structure actually fits your practice. If you are placing fresh, we build the submission, market it to carriers that write your specialty, and bring back the analysis in writing.
