Endocrinologists are internal medicine physicians who specialize in the endocrine system, the network of glands and organs that make and release hormones. They’re the experts when it comes to the endocrine glands, including the thyroid gland, adrenal glands, and pituitary gland.
While treating patients with endocrine disorders, endocrinologists are exposed to the risk of medical malpractice lawsuits. Nearly one in 10 endocrinologists have been sued in their careers to date. Indigo offers the comprehensive medical malpractice insurance endocrinologists need.
When you choose Indigo for your medical malpractice insurance needs, you can trust that your endocrinology practice is in good hands. Our comprehensive coverage and focused defense offer the support you need to manage disorders of the endocrine system.
The endocrine system is complex, encompassing several glands and organs that make more than 50 different hormones. Disorders of the endocrine system can be challenging to diagnose and manage. Endocrinologists may face medical malpractice allegations if they make errors in treating or diagnosing these diseases. Indigo offers comprehensive insurance coverage to protect endocrinologists in the unfortunate event of a claim.
Research shows that some doctors are far more likely to follow the standard of care than others, and at Indigo, we believe that good physicians should be rewarded. Our AI-powered pricing processes analyze thousands of data points, from the endocrinology services you’re offering to your patient outcomes, to set premiums that accurately reflect the way you practice medicine.
Endocrinologists who face a medical malpractice claim can trust that their claim will be aggressively defended. At Indigo, we specialize in medical professional liability insurance — and so do the experienced, local defense attorneys who will work hard to defend your practice and reputation.
Among all medical specialties, endocrinologists are among the least likely to have ever been sued for medical malpractice. However, their risk is still very real.
Endocrinologists treat diabetes, obesity, and thyroid disorders which tend to involve lower risk; Hormone replacement therapy and reproductive endocrinology can create increased risk; failure to order appropriate blood tests; missed blood test results; and failure to communicate can all lead to a delayed diagnosis which could be catastrophic.
Your Indigo policy includes access to a 3rd party helpline where you can receive confidential risk management advice for your endocrinology practice.

No federal law requires endocrinologists to carry medical malpractice insurance, but chances are, you’re still required to have it. Some states require minimum levels of insurance. Hospitals may require endocrinologists with visiting privileges to have insurance.
Health insurance plans may require some level of coverage for participating endocrinologists. It’s also a practical requirement to protect your practice.
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”).
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.
The time it takes to get medical malpractice insurance can vary depending on your circumstances, including your specialty and the specific coverage you need.
