Internal Medicine Malpractice Insurance

Professional liability insurance

Protect yourself and your career

Out of all physicians,OB/GYNs probably face the greatest risk of medical malpractice. OB/GYNs are held to a very high standard of care because they are dealing with a woman’s reproductive system, a fetus, or an infant. Any error that leads to permanent physical consequences for both mother and child can be truly devastating. There is a heavy, emotional impact that can affect a woman for the rest of her life.

There are many ways that a lawsuit can be brought against an OB/GYN. One of the most common instances of malpractice is cancer misdiagnosis or failure to diagnosis a disease or infection. Anything related to pap smears, ultrasounds, menopause, or biopsies that causes harm to a patient can be subject to a malpractice lawsuit.

Internal Medicine physicians provide a wide range of healthcare for their adult patients and the care tends to be both long-term and comprehensive.

While Internists typically do not see severe claims, they can sometimes have a higher frequency of claims simply due to the high volume of patients that they see. However, regarding the cost of medical malpractice insurance for Internal Medicine physicians, the good news is that, generally speaking, Internal Medicine is not considered to be a high risk specialty. Therefore, the cost of Internal Medicine professional liability insurance (also known as medical malpractice insurance) is lower than many specialties.
