            Most health care professionals need professional liability insurance. Many states require that M.D.s and D.O.s have liability insurance.

            Even in states that don’t require malpractice insurance, physicians usually have to have medical malpractice insurance coverage in order to get hospital privileges or to participate in HMO or PPO insurance programs.

            In some cases, a physician may choose not to carry medical malpractice insurance.  This is sometimes referred to as “going bare”.

            Premiums for medical malpractice insurance vary depending on the physician’s degree of risk. Typically, Insurers set premiums based on a practitioner’s medical specialty, whether or not they perform surgery or certain procedures, and the geographic location or state in which they practice. Hours worked may also be considered in the computation of the insurance premium.
