Benefits for Dermatologists

Dermatologists face unique risks related to both medical and cosmetic procedures.

Our plans are crafted to protect your practice from these risks so you to focus on what matters—your patients' health and well-being.

Comprehensive Coverage Overview for Dermatology

Dermatologists deal with a range of treatments and procedures that require specialized malpractice insurance. Here’s an overview of the coverage Indigo offers:

  • Professional Liability: Coverage for medical negligence or mistakes in diagnosing and treating skin conditions, including life-threatening conditions like melanoma and non-melanoma cancers.
  • General Liability: Protection against claims of bodily injury or property damage that may arise within your practice, such as a slip-and-fall incident in your office.
  • Cyber Liability: Coverage for data breaches or cyberattacks, protecting your patient information from hackers and other digital threats.
  • Malpractice Claims Specific to Dermatology: Dermatologists treat diseases of the skin. Most diseases of the skin are minor but a missed malignant melanoma can be fatal. Even missed non-melanoma diagnosis can mean delayed treatment and unnecessary Mohs procedures, creating the risk of scarring. For dermatologists involved in cosmetic treatments, the risk of complications from procedures like Botox or laser treatments can also create additional liability. With Inigo, you’ll get the comprehensive coverage you need.

Indigo’s malpractice insurance provides peace of mind by covering both routine care and high-risk cosmetic procedures.

FAQs

Should I get claims-made or occurrence coverage?

Most medical malpractice policies are claims-made. Claims-made policies are popular because they tend to have lower initial premiums than occurrence coverage. If you’re concerned about claims that arise after the policy expires, you can buy an extended reporting period endorsement (commonly known as “tail coverage”).

What states are covered by your malpractice insurance?

Indigo provides coverage for physicians across the United States. However, since insurance is regulated on the state level, coverage may not be available in all states.
