Rheumatologists are internists with specialized training in treating musculoskeletal and rheumatic diseases, from gout and osteoarthritis to Sjögren’s syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosus. As any rheumatologist knows, these conditions can be challenging to diagnose and complex to manage — making medical malpractice lawsuits a very real risk.

Rheumatologists face unique risks when it comes to medical malpractice lawsuits. Treatment decisions may be more complex than in other specialties, as many patients have less well-defined diseases with less consensus regarding the standard of care.
Rheumatologists treat autoimmune, systemic inflammatory disorders, which generally involve lower risk. However, autoimmune patients can create complexity and increased risk, particularly in cases like systemic lupus. The interplay between steroid medications and other treatments can lead to an increased risk of contraindication complications. Additionally, this specialty has inherent risks in missed diagnoses, failure to follow up on bloodwork, and failure to refer.
With Indigo, you’ll have access to a 3rd party helpline to provide advice about managing rheumatology risk — complimentary and confidential.

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 nationwide. 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.
