Tail insurance costs approximately 200% of the expiring claims-made premium. For example, if you pay an annual premium of $40,000, your tail coverage would cost around $80,000. Since rates vary widely by specialty, location, and individual risk factors, we recommend you contact us for a personalized tail evaluation. While many doctors accept the first tail quote they are given, those who work with MEDPLI often save thousands of dollars.
