Physician Assistants
Portable, scope-aware malpractice coverage that follows your career, not just your employer.
PHYSICIAN ASSISTANTS OVERVIEW
Individual coverage that closes the gaps your employer's policy leaves open.
Physician assistants operate within a complex coverage landscape — your employer provides a policy, but it may not follow you across facilities, cover your moonlighting shifts, or respond if your scope of practice is disputed in a claim. An individual PA malpractice policy provides the portable, comprehensive protection that your career actually requires.
Scope of practice coverage alignment
We verify your policy covers your actual clinical authority — independent panels, satellite locations, after-hours call — not just a restrictive supervision definition.
Moonlighting and second-job protection
Individual policies that cover per diem shifts, urgent care coverage, and independent telehealth work that employer policies provide zero coverage for.
Supervision escalation documentation
Guidance on documenting supervision contacts and escalation decisions — the primary clinical defense against failure-to-escalate allegations.
Career transition portability
Portable coverage that travels with you through employer changes, state moves, and specialty transitions without gaps or tail surprises.
