Medical Malpractice Insurance for Endocrinologists

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.

Comprehensive Coverage

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.

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.

Risk Management for Endocrinologists

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.
