Neurologists are physicians who specialize in managing problems of the brain and nervous system. Appointments may involve patients with epilepsy, migraines, strokes, brain tumors, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, narcolepsy, movement disorders or any number of rare conditions. Neurologists are tasked with ordering the right diagnostic testing and creating appropriate treatment plans.
With the severity and complexity of neurological conditions, the specialty has a risk of medical malpractice claims — one in five neurologists have been sued in their careers. Get Indigo to safeguard the career and reputation you’ve worked hard to build.
Neurologists who choose Indigo as their medical malpractice insurer can expect comprehensive coverage and a committed defense, at competitive rates.
Neurology is high-stakes, with errors in diagnosis or treatment having the potential for serious harm. Up to half of malpractice claims against neurologists involve diagnostic errors, with headaches posing a particular challenge as they can indicate anything from minor issues to serious neurological diseases like brain tumors. The challenges of stroke and seizure management also present risk. Indigo’s medical malpractice insurance offers robust protection from neurology-related claims.
No two physicians are alike, and their medical malpractice insurance should reflect their unique circumstances. Our proprietary technology analyzes thousands of real data points — from the neurology services you offer to your patients’ outcomes — to offer accurate, personalized pricing. For neurologists who practice good medicine, this can translate to larger savings.
At Indigo, we are dedicated to protecting hard-working neurologists and other doctors who face medical malpractice claims. We partner with experienced local claims attorneys who will work tirelessly to defend your case. Legal costs are paid outside of your policy’s limit of liability, ensuring the full limit is available in the event your claim results in a judgment or settlement.
Your Indigo policy offers support even before a medical malpractice claim arises. Through Indigo, neurologists receive complimentary access to a 3rd-party risk management helpline. Consultants with clinical risk management expertise are available to answer questions and offer confidential advice for lowering neurology malpractice risk, both overall and in specific areas.
Neurologists treat diseases and disorders of the brain, spinal cord and nervous system. Although minimal surgical risk, neurologists diagnose and treat brain tumors, stroke, infection, all of which carry higher risk of significant neurological injury and mortality if not diagnosed and treated promptly. Complexity in diagnostic tests, including various neurological exams, imaging and blood tests, provides increased risk of error. Complex medication regimens also create additional risk, necessitating robust medical malpractice coverage.
Indigo’s medical malpractice solutions include the key features neurologists need to protect themselves, including:

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.
