How to Evaluate Medical Malpractice Insurance Carriers

Most doctors will have access to multiple top-rated malpractice insurance providers. We recommend thoroughly researching each company’s credit ranking, financial strength, and policy offerings to guide your decision-making process.

When comparing carriers, pay close attention to these three factors:

  1. AM Best Ratings
    AM Best, a global credit rating agency focused on the insurance industry, rates carriers on a scale from A++ (Superior) to D (Poor) based on five factors:
    1. Insurer Philosophy
    2. Financial Stability
    3. Management Practices
    4. Operational Structure
    5. Projected Success

MedMal Broker Tip: Verify a carrier’s current rating directly in the official AM Best report rather than relying on the company’s website, which may still display a more favorable rating from a prior year.

  1. Financial Stability
    Carriers with a long track record of financial strength are best positioned to maintain solvency over time, ensuring your policy limits stay funded and reducing the risk of unexpected coverage loss or personal liability.
  1. Coverage Features
    Policy offerings can reveal a lot about the insurance provider. Coverage options that demand particular attention include:
    • Legal Expenses
      A carrier that will cover defense costs in addition to the limits of liability is preferable to one that subtracts defense costs from your total liability limits.
    • Incident Trigger vs. Demand Trigger
      Protect yourself with a carrier that offers incident coverage triggers. This way, you can report claims as soon as an incident occurs, not wait until a plaintiff formally demands damages in writing.
    • Consent to Settle
      Look for a carrier that includes a consent-to-settle clause. This gives you the right to contest a meritless claim, even when settling would be cheaper for the carrier. Without this clause, a carrier can settle without your approval.

MEDPLI’s multi-quote approach saves clients an average of 20% on insurance premiums.

Get the Right Malpractice Insurance Policy for Your Specialty

Online research into a provider’s AM Best rating and financial strength is a smart first step, but a broker who specializes in medical malpractice insurance adds provider-specific expertise, tailored guidance for your liability profile, and skilled negotiation to secure the best coverage at the best price.

At MEDPLI, we help physicians get the right coverage from top A-rated malpractice carriers at low rates and with exceptional service.

To speak with a knowledgeable broker, email info@medpli.com or call our Illinois office.

With premiums and indemnity payouts on the rise, MEDPLI is your best ally.

Don’t settle for inadequate coverage or exorbitant rates.
