CRNA Malpractice Insurance

Things happen. Mistakes may get made, or a patient (or their family) may simply want to blame someone for a difficulty they’re having. Ultimately, it’s important to protect one of your biggest assets — your career. You can rest easy knowing that the team at Berxi will be looking into your claim and providing you with the resources to protect you.

Berxi Malpractice Insurance: Key Features

Here are some noteworthy features of our CRNA malpractice insurance:

  • Occurrence and claims-made policy options
    • Don’t know the difference between the two? No worries! We wrote an article that breaks it all down for you.
  • Legal defense outside the limits of liability
    • This means that money spent on your defense won’t be deducted from your insurance limits — so if you have a $1 million limit, you’ll still have $1 million to pay for any settlements or damages.
  • Consent to settle
    • This means that we won’t settle a claim without your consent.
  • $0 deductibles
  • Flexible insurance limits based on your needs
  • Convenient payment plans for select policies
  • Customizable tail coverage options for customers with claims-made policies
How Much Does CRNA Malpractice Insurance Cost?

The price of a CRNA malpractice insurance policy starts at about $1,014 per year. The final cost depends on a number of factors, including — but not limited to — how much coverage you want and where you practice, as well as your experience, education, and time spent on the job.

The best way to get an idea of what your policy would cost is by getting a quick quote. It only takes a couple minutes, and — if you choose to purchase — your policy can go into effect any day you’d like, including today.

What’s Covered Under Berxi’s Malpractice Insurance for CRNAs?

Industry Coverage

If you work as a CRNA, medical malpractice coverage insures you against claims of negligence or of making a mistake that caused bodily harm to another. This includes providing you with a lawyer to defend yourself and the funds you can use to pay judgments or settlements.

AMOUNT COVERED:
Typical limits of liability range from $500,000 per claim/$1 million aggregate to $2 million per claim/$6 million aggregate

If a claim is filed against you, we’ll retain a lawyer for you from our network of defense attorneys specializing in medical malpractice. We’ll also pay for related defense costs (e.g., lawyer fees, court fees, expert witness costs).

Note that these defense costs are outside the limits of your insurance. This means that their services don’t cut into the settlement fees you may need to pay after a ruling.

AMOUNT COVERED:
Provided in addition to your policy’s limits of insurance

Your policy applies on a worldwide basis, as long as a claim is brought against you in the United States (which includes any U.S. territories or possessions).

If you provide professional care to someone who is not your patient in a first aid or emergency situation, and that person files a claim against you, your policy would still apply.

Automatic Coverage Extensions

If a claim alleges that you violated privacy rules in connection with private health information, we provide you with access to counsel and will reimburse you for costs related to HIPAA proceedings — including relevant HIPAA fines.

AMOUNT COVERED:
$25,000 per policy period

If the professional licensing authority is investigating matters related to your professional conduct, our policy provides you with legal defense.

AMOUNT COVERED:
$25,000 limit per policy period

If we ask you to attend litigation activities (e.g., a deposition), our policy will reimburse you for actual lost wages and any necessary expenses you incur (e.g., travel, meals).

AMOUNT COVERED:
Up to $1,000 per day

If you face a threat to your professional reputation, we can provide you with a crisis management/public relations consultant to help clear your name.

AMOUNT COVERED:
$50,000 per claim

Additional A La Carte Coverage

The policy applies if someone files a claim against you alleging that your premises or operations caused them bodily injury or harm.

AMOUNT COVERED:
$1 million occurrence/$1 million aggregate

If you’re audited by either Medicare or Medicaid, we offer reimbursement for related accountant or attorney costs that result from the investigation or defense of the audit proceedings.

AMOUNT COVERED:
$30,000 for a covered audit and related expenses
