What is Professional Liability Insurance for Dentists?
Dentist professional liability insurance is coverage that protects dentists in the event of a malpractice lawsuit against them. A vigorous legal defense is quite costly.
Professional liability insurance helps pay for that defense – even when claims against you are groundless. If damages are awarded in a malpractice suit, the insurance protects your assets by providing a buffer zone, up to the limits of your plan.
Who Needs Dentists Malpractice Insurance?
There are several different types of professional liability insurance for dental professionals. Dentists, whether general dentists or pediatric dentists, aren’t the only ones in the industry who need the protection professional liability coverage affords.
Other policies to consider include those for the following:
- Oral Surgeons – These professionals walk the paths of dentists and physicians and need appropriate insurance coverage for both.
- Endodontists – As a root canal specialist and more, endodontists need dental malpractice insurance too.
- Periodontists – Many dental professionals, known as periodontists, specialize in treating periodontal disease, which involves disease of the gums, tissue, and underlying bone.
- Dental Hygienists – Many hygienists rely on the coverage of their employers, which may not be adequate, or may lapse. Additional coverage or umbrella professional liability protection provides an invaluable safety net.
- Group Coverage Options – This type of plan covers the entire practice and simplifies the billing process.
In today’s litigious society, though, no one should practice in the dental or medical fields without this vital insurance protection. The stakes for doing so are simply too high.
How are Rates Determined for Professional Liability Dental Insurance?
Rate calculations vary from one carrier to the next and according to the specific coverage you purchase and more. There isn’t typically a one size fits all plan that works with all carriers, which is why it’s worth your while to work with an independent agency, like us here at Insurance Center of North Jersey, that has access to multiple carriers.
This allows us to offer the best combination of benefits, protection, and costs to you.
