Frequently Asked Questions
What are DC’s medical malpractice insurance requirements?
DC doesn’t set a jurisdiction-wide minimum for malpractice coverage, but industry standards fill the gap. Physicians typically carry $1,000,000/$3,000,000 limits, secure tail coverage for claims-made policies (roughly 200% of the annual premium), and choose A-rated carriers for financial strength.
MEDPLI helps DC physicians meet these expectations with appropriate limits, policy types, and carriers for their specialty and career stage.
