Max was very thorough and prompt. They do request a lot of information compared to other companies where I reached out directly like TDC. They gave me options and was quick to respond. Would reach out to them again.

Last month, Max, Erin and the team at MedPLI did an amazing job as the clock ticked down on the expiration of our medmal insurance. Due to a little known change in Connecticut law, our existing carrier would not renew our policy, and we had to had to scramble for new coverage. Max stepped in, quickly understood our problem, got bids from different insurers and in the space of a couple of days secured coverage for our psychiatry practice.
Max and MedPLI have my strongest endorsement: thorough, flexible and quick.  A great partner.

MEDPLI was able to handle and solve our group professional liability insurance needs when other brokers could not. The difference was that they listened to our questions (repeatedly) and uncertainties, helped us know what questions to ask, showed us that they understood, and then went to bat for us with the underwriters. I feel confident that we've got the coverage we need now.

Frequently Asked Questions: Medical Malpractice Insurance with SURGPLI

Malpractice insurance protects your career and finances from lawsuits, legal fees, and settlements. Without it, a single claim could jeopardize your career and reputation. Robust malpractice insurance is particularly important for surgeons, who face a higher risk of malpractice than non-surgical physicians.

We help surgeons secure top-tier medical coverage at the most affordable rates. We help you find insurance tailored to your:

  • Specialty
  • State
  • Risk Profile
  • Budget

Whether you’re a surgical resident navigating your first malpractice policy or a retiring surgeon seeking tail coverage, we make it easy to secure and maintain coverage that fits your needs.

Our services are free to surgeons.

We’re paid by the insurance carriers, not client fees, so you get expert, unbiased advice and dedicated advocacy at no cost to you. We are committed to fostering long-term relationships founded on trust and exceptional service.

Our specialty is medical malpractice insurance for surgeons. That means faster results, deeper market knowledge, and better protection. Our network of specialty underwriters and our decades of combined experience make us the best choice for securing premium coverage.

Yes. While some carriers offer multiple payment options, many specialty carriers require payment in full to bind a policy. When this is the case, we help to coordinate payment in full to the carrier while you pay the balance over the year. The exception is Tail Coverage, which must be paid in full to finalize coverage.

Yes. If you’ve had prior claims, faced non-renewal, or been labeled high-risk, SURGPLI can match you with carriers that specialize in complex risk profiles.

Generally, after experiencing claims or a non-renewal, you will see elevated premiums for several years. We work hard to mitigate the high costs while securing strong coverage. As an independent broker, we shop a wide range of carriers with varying appetites for medical professional liability risk transfer.

Absolutely. We help surgeons at every stage of their careers understand and secure tail coverage. Whether you’re changing jobs, switching from claims-made to occurrence coverage, or retiring, we guide you through your options to help prevent coverage gaps.

Yes. We compare policies from multiple A-rated carriers, taking the following into account to help you understand your options and find the best policy.

  • Your location & coverage requirements
  • Specialty
  • Risk profile
  • Premium rates
  • Coverage limits
  • Exclusions
  • Defense provisions
  • Consent-to-settle clauses

NOTE: It is essential to read your policy and consult with your broker if you have questions.

Generally not. If you are truly seeking the most affordable coverage, expect some limitations. Likewise, the most expensive coverage is not necessarily the best.

Carriers use their own risk models so that premiums can vary widely. The goal is to balance cost with strong protection. Because every surgeon has a different risk tolerance and budget, we work with a broad range of carriers. Price matters, but it shouldn’t be the only factor when choosing coverage.
