It drives up insurance costs statewide. As these events grow more frequent and intense, insurers face mounting losses and respond by raising premiums across the board – and not just for homeowners insurance. Medical malpractice insurance feels the hit, too, and healthcare professionals must shoulder the cost of a destabilized market. ### **What’s Causing Insurance Rates to Climb?** - ** **Rising Reinsurance Costs**** ****[Insurance companies rely on reinsurance](https://content.naic.org/insurance-topics/reinsurance#:~:text=Reinsurance-,Background,-Actions)**, essentially insurance for insurers, to manage risk. But as reinsurers absorb massive losses from natural disasters worldwide, they hike their prices. These costs are passed on to all policyholders, including doctors and surgeons in New Hampshire. - ** **Bigger Disasters, Bigger Costs **With **[each catastrophic event](https://www.climate.gov/news-features/blogs/beyond-data/2024-active-year-us-billion-dollar-weather-and-climate-disasters)**, the insurance industry faces larger claims and tighter margins. The ripple effect drives up premiums not just for property owners, but for businesses and professionals across every sector. - ** **Fewer Insurers, Less Competition **Insurance providers are increasingly retreating from high-risk areas, leading to nonrenewals and fewer options for coverage. What began in Florida and **[California](https://www.fox26houston.com/news/california-insurance-crisis-list-carriers-have-fled-reduced-coverage-state)** is now **[impacting traditionally safer states](https://smartfinancial.com/home-insurance-leaving-states)**.** ** ### ## **How New Hampshire’s Medical Malpractice Rates Are Impacted** Medical malpractice insurers are now grappling with surging reinsurance premiums and tougher payout conditions. To offset their rising costs, they’ve raised **[premiums for physicians nationwide.](https://medpli.com/medical-malpractice-insurance-premiums-why-they-go-up-what-you-can-do-about-it/)** Although New Hampshire saw **[fewer large malpractice premium spikes in 2024](https://www.ama-assn.org/practice-management/sustainability/medical-liability-insurance-headed-toward-hard-market-2025)** compared to other states, **[13.3% of its doctors saw double-digit increases between 2019 and 2020](https://www.ama-assn.org/practice-management/sustainability/14-states-see-medical-liability-insurance-rates-jump-more-10#:~:text=New%20Hampshire%3A%2013.3%25)****. **With severe weather events becoming more frequent, New Hampshire physicians should prepare for future premium increases. Severe weather is reshaping insurance costs for everyone. **MEDPLI’s multi-quote approach saves an average of 20% on insurance premiums.** [GET A QUOTE](https://medpli.com/#quote) ##     **Types of Professional Liability Insurance for New Hampshire Physicians** Doctors in New Hampshire can choose between these two primary types of medical malpractice insurance: * ### **[1. Claims-Made ](https://medpli.com/occurrence-vs-claims-made-malpractice-insurance-whats-the-difference/)[Insurance](https://medpli.com/occurrence-vs-claims-made-malpractice-insurance-whats-the-difference/)** - Provides coverage for incidents that occurred during the policy period, IF the claim is filed while the policy is still active. If a claim is filed after the policy has ended, that claim is NOT covered. - Typically, it offers lower premiums at the start of the policy, but rates increase yearly as the policy matures. - Physicians must obtain **[tail insurance coverage](https://medpli.com/2020-physicians-guide-to-tail-insurance/)** when a claims-made policy ends to ensure protection against future claims related to incidents that occurred during the policy period. Tail insurance premiums require a one-time cash payment to the expiring carrier equal to approximately 200% of the claims-made policy’s annual premium. - New Hampshire physicians may opt to purchase **[nose coverage](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2793838/)**, or prior acts coverage, instead of tail coverage. Nose coverage can be purchased through a new carrier to protect physicians from claims that occurred before the effective date of the new policy, back to a specified date. ### **[2. ](https://medpli.com/occurrence-vs-claims-made-malpractice-insurance-whats-the-difference/)[Occurrence](https://medpli.com/occurrence-vs-claims-made-malpractice-insurance-whats-the-difference/)[ Insurance](https://medpli.com/occurrence-vs-claims-made-malpractice-insurance-whats-the-difference/)** - Provides coverage for incidents that occurred during the policy period, regardless of when a claim is reported to the carrier. - Typically, it offers more costly premiums at the start of the policy, but the rate stays constant throughout the policy’s duration. - Physicians do not need tail coverage when an occurrence policy ends. **In 2024, New Hampshire physicians were held liable for 42 medical malpractice payouts. ** - Average Payout: $511,138 - Total Payout: $21,467,800 (Source: National Practitioner Data Bank) **[See how New Hampshire compares to other places in the U.S.](https://medpli.com/medical-malpractice-payouts-by-state/)** *** ## **Does New Hampshire Have Damage Caps for Medical Malpractice Lawsuits? ** Unlike many other states, New Hampshire ****[**does not impose economic or non-economic damage caps** ](https://nabip.org/media/8331/medical_malpractice_cap.pdf)in medical malpractice cases after the New Hampshire Supreme Court ruled that damage caps violated equal protection. **Key Rules & Exceptions** - **[Punitive Damages](https://law.justia.com/codes/new-hampshire/title-lii/chapter-507/section-507-16/)****: **Not allowed in New Hampshire. - **[Burden of Proof](https://gc.nh.gov/rsa/html/LII/507-E/507-E-2.htm)****: **Plaintiffs carry the burden of proof in New Hampshire malpractice cases.

Standard terms are for 2, 3, and 5 years. **Expert tip:** Choose tail coverage that extends beyond your state’s malpractice claim statute of limitations. Most physicians prefer unlimited-term policies for lasting protection, even if shorter options cost less. ** × Without tail insurance coverage, a physician can be financially liable for future claims from patient care that occured during the lapsed claims-made policy period. This liability can range from thousands to millions of dollars, based on the severity of the claim. Expert Tip:** Use our **[Medical Malpractice Payouts By State Tool](https://medpli.com/medical-malpractice-payouts-by-state/)** to get a sense of what the medical malpractice payout landscape is like in different states. ** × Tail insurance should be secured by the last day of the active claims-made policy. Often, the incumbent carrier offers a 30-day window after the policy lapses for a doctor to exercise the option to buy their tail policy. We recommend that you pursue standalone quotes before accepting an incumbent offer. Starting that process when you decide to change employers will provide more opportunities to compare quotes and secure the best rate. Expert Tip:** If you’re planning to leave your employer or have already done so, reach out to a medical malpractice insurance broker right away. Timing is critical for securing proper coverage. ** × Each medical specialty has its own insurance risk profile, which may require specialized tail insurance. A policy must reflect the exact circumstances of a physician’s practice and cover all services provided. × Tail coverage protects doctors against any future claims that have yet to be reported. × What does tail insurance typically cover?**** Tail insurance covers any financial liability associated with a medical malpractice claim. This includes: - Legal fees - Expert witnesses - Settlements - Any damages awarded to the plaintiff × When is tail coverage necessary?** Tail coverage is necessary is specific situations, primarily for professionals and organizations that use **[claims-made insurance policies](https://medpli.com/occurrence-vs-claims-made-malpractice-insurance-whats-the-difference/#:~:text=claim%20is%20submitted.-,2.%20Do%20Occurrence%20and%20Claims%2DMade%20Policies%20Offer%20Different%20Benefits%3F,-As%20you%20decide)**. There are four common instances when it’s needed: - When You’re Leaving a Claims-Made Policy - When Switching Insurers or Jobs - When Retiring or Closing a Practice - When Contractually Required × Tail insurance protects you from claims made after your claims-made policy ends. It covers incidents that occurred while you were insured but are reported later, after your policy’s cancellation date. Without tail coverage, you’d be personally responsible for any lawsuits or legal costs that arise afterward, which can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. **Expert Tip:** When changing jobs, review your insurance program with an **[experienced broker](https://medpli.com/contact-us/)** who knows how to navigate the fine print and ensure you’re protected. × Get a Quote Name *FirstLastSpecialty *Select your SpecialtyAesthetic MedicineAllergyAnesthesiologyCardiology-InvasiveCardiology-Non InvasiveConciergeDermatologyDirect Primary Care (DPC)Emergency MedicineEndocrinologyFamily PracticeFunctional MedicineGastroenterologyGynecology - No SurgeryHematologyHormone Replacement TherapyIndependent Medical Evaluations (IME)Infectious DiseaseInternal MedicineKetamine Infusion TherapyMedical DirectorMidwiferyNeonatologyNephrologyNeurologyOB/GYNOccupational MedicineOncologyOphthalmologyPain ManagementPathologyPediatricsPhysical Medicine/RehabilitationPodiatry - No SurgeryPodiatry - SurgeryPsychiatryPulmonary DiseaseRadiologyRadiology - InterventionalRheumatologySurgery: BariatricSurgery: Cardiovascular ThoracicSurgery: General (Including Trauma)Surgery: HandSurgery: NeurosurgerySurgery: OncologySurgery: Orthopedic without SpineSurgery: Orthopedic with SpineSurgery: PlasticSurgery: Colon & RectalSurgery: GynecologySurgery: Otorhinolaryngology with elective plasticSurgery: Otorhinolaryngology-no elective plasticSurgery: UrologySurgery: VascularSurgery: ThoracicWeight Loss MedicineOtherDegree *Select your DegreeMDDOCNMDPMDDSCRNANPPAPTOtherNextPhone *Email *State *Select a StateAlabamaArizonaArkansasCaliforniaColoradoConnecticutDelawareFloridaGeorgiaIdahoIllinoisIndianaIowaKansasKentuckyLouisianaMaineMarylandMassachusettsMichiganMinnesotaMississippiMissouriMontanaNebraskaNevadaNew HampshireNew JerseyNew MexicoNew YorkNorth CarolinaNorth DakotaOhioOklahomaOregonPennsylvaniaRhode IslandSouth CarolinaSouth DakotaTennesseeTexasUtahVermontVirginiaWashingtonWest VirginiaWisconsinWyomingNational Provider Identifier (NPI)(optional)(Optional) Upload supporting documents (current policy package, CV, NPDB report, and any prior claims information) Drag & Drop Files, Choose Files to Upload You can upload up to 5 files.
