Can my collaboration agreement be started before my malpractice insurance is fully active?

Yes, in some cases. Malpractice coverage is required to cover patient care, so it should be active before the clinician begins practicing. If the clinician needs a collaborating physician before patient care begins, such as to secure a DEA license or complete insurance credentialing, Single Aim can send the collaborative agreement through DocuSign without proof of malpractice coverage attached as long as the physician approves. Proof of coverage should be provided once it is available and before patient care begins.
