In healthcare disputes, liability can extend beyond an individual’s fault. Professionals, including clinic/hospital staff, nurses, assistants, and doctors, may face legal action, resulting in costly compensation payments and legal fees. Medical malpractice insurance offers financial protection by covering predetermined amounts for legal expenses and compensation.

How is the premium determined?
The insurance company calculates premiums based on coverage, duration, and your expertise in the field or the work involved.
Are there different policy options available?
Yes, tailored quotes are available. Let’s discuss a customized plan.
Will there coverage cover my previous work?
Yes, the insurance policy covers disputes related to previous work that arise during the policy period. However, if a dispute was known prior to purchasing the policy, it will not be covered.
Can I pause my policy for a year or two?
Yes, but you risk liability for disputes during the non-covered period. Remember, patients have up to 6 years to challenge the treatment/services.
Are there mandatory requirements for medical malpractice insurance by the regulatory body?
Yes and registration with Malaysia’s relevant regulatory body is necessary. You can find these requirements outlined on related websites.
Can coverage be customized for specific practice needs or specialties?
Absolutely, premiums are based on coverage and the nature of your work.
What if I change practices or locations?
The policy covers disputes arising from your work and extends across multiple establishments, as long as each establishment is registered.
What if I retire or leave the profession?
Maintaining the policy for 6 years is advisable as patients have 6 years to challenge the treatment/services. If you have switched to an advisory roles or lecturing work, you can adjust your occupation.
Can I add insured parties or staff under the policy?
Yes, it’s possible to include nurses, assistants, and other medical staff in the establishment policy to share coverage. However, it’s advisable for doctors to obtain their individual insurance as both the establishment and doctors can be jointly liable in certain cases.
If my employer provides coverage, should I skip personal insurance?
It’s crucial to have your own insurance for a few important reasons. Sometimes, healthcare disputes take a long time to sort out. If you’re looking to switch to a new workplace during an ongoing dispute, your current employer might not allow you to use their insurance.
Also, it’s essential to check if the insurance covers everyone or just the establishment. If both the staff and the establishment need defense and have to compensate the patient at the same time, there might not be enough insurance money for everyone involved. In such cases, bosses often prioritize their own interests first.
Having personal insurance gives you your own protection, especially in tricky situations or when changing workplaces.
Can I get short-term coverage?
The insurance policy is typically renewed annually. However, if you start the policy midway through the year, the insurance company offers prorated premiums. This means that if you apply for insurance on a date like February 1st, your coverage will start from February 2nd of that year and continue until December 31st. Similarly, if you initiate the policy on July 1st, the coverage begins from July 2nd of that year and runs until December 31st of the following year, aligning with the APC renewal.
Can I increase coverage mid-period?
You can, but newly added coverage is usually excluded from immediate claims. Consider changes during renewal.
Should I get an establishment policy if I have personal insurance?
For larger establishments or multiple branches, separate coverage is advisable. For smaller clinics (sole practitioner), personal insurance might sufficient, but it’s your call.
I am a government doctor with locum exposure. Can I obtain coverage solely for my locum work?
Regrettably, our policy doesn’t offer coverage solely for locum work. The insurance is designed to cover disputes arising from all your professional activities, including your work in government establishments.
Being a government doctor with locum exposure is considered a single occupation under our policy. Although the government might cover your work within its establishments, distinguishing between your government and private work poses a challenge for the insurance company.
Moreover, the insurance company views this as a different risk due to factors like longer working hours and a higher number of patients. These conditions can escalate the likelihood of malpractice or disputes. Consequently, it becomes impractical to segregate the two types of work for insurance coverage.
