Do I need to provide malpractice insurance for my collaborating physician, or does each person need their own coverage?
Not necessarily. Do not assume the clinician must provide malpractice coverage for the collaborating physician, and do not assume the physician is automatically covered. Coverage can vary by arrangement, insurer, and state requirements. In many cases, each practitioner carries their own coverage, and a collaborating physician may use their own policy. If the physician will be added to another policy or covered through a Single Aim membership, confirm the setup directly with the physician and the insurance carrier. For Single Aim membership coverage options, review Physician Medical Malpractice Coverage on Single Aim.
