Medical Malpractice Insurance for Hematologists

Hematology is an internal medicine sub-specialty that focuses on treating patients with disorders of the blood, bone marrow or lymphatic system, such as anemia or hemophilia. Many hematologists are also board-certified in oncology, allowing them to treat patients with blood cancers such as leukemia, lymphoma or multiple myeloma. Patients may face serious complications or adverse outcomes if these conditions are not managed properly, exposing hematologists to the risk of medical malpractice lawsuits.

Top Benefits of Medical Malpractice Insurance for Hematologists

Our medical malpractice coverage offers the robust protection hematologist-oncologists need to treat complex patients. When you choose Indigo, you can look forward to comprehensive coverage and expert support at rates that are personalized to your practice.

Robust Protection for Hematologists

In hematology-oncology, patient appointments may involve rare diseases or unusual symptoms, and specialists may have limited studies to guide the care of patients. Failing to order the appropriate blood tests, follow up with lab test results, or prescribe suitable treatments could expose you to allegations of medical malpractice. Indigo’s comprehensive medical professional liability coverage offers the robust protection hematologists need to confidently practice medicine.

Competitive, Personalized Premiums

Indigo uses the power of artificial intelligence to accurately price a doctor’s risk of facing a medical malpractice claim. Our proprietary technology analyzes thousands of real data points to create a quote that’s customized to you and the way you practice hematology. For good physicians, that translates to higher potential savings.

Expert & Dedicated Support

Just like hematologists are the experts in blood cells and blood diseases, Indigo is the expert in medical professional liability insurance. In the unfortunate event of a claim, our team will start working on your case as quickly as possible. You can trust that your claim will be aggressively defended by experienced claims defense attorneys.

Comprehensive Coverage Overview for Hematologists

Hematologists treat diseases of the blood including anemia, various cancers of the blood and lymphatic system, and bleeding/clotting disorders. By definition, these conditions can be serious or complex with a high risk of mortality if not managed properly. Failure to timely diagnose, treat, follow, communicate, or medicate can all create risk for malpractice to varying degrees of severity. That’s why Indigo’s medical malpractice insurance includes the following crucial features:

  • Medical professional liability: Robust protection in the event a patient with a blood disorder alleges harm due to improper diagnosis, treatment or other errors.
  • Cyber liability: Protection for the security and privacy liability risks faced by modern hematology practices.
  • Medefense coverage: Protection in the event of billing errors or medical regulatory violations.
  • Prior acts coverage: Optional coverage that addresses acts that occurred before choosing Indigo, AKA “nose coverage.”
  • Tail coverage: An endorsement that helps provide protection even after the policy expires.
  • Hematology risk management: Complimentary access to a 3rd party helpline for confidential advice about reducing hematology risk.

FAQs

Is malpractice insurance a requirement?

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.

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.
