Malpractice Insurance California Coverage

Professional Medical Liability Protection

As part of a series that I am writing about starting a medical practice, one of the essential components to starting a medical practice is to have a Medical Malpractice Insurance Company.  There are several to choose from.  I chose to use CAP - Cooperative of American Physicians.   It is a company run by physicians.  I also spend some time promoting CAP to my fellow doctors.  I am reimbursed for my time spent working with CAP.  My wife, Dr. Tammy Wu, Modesto Plastic Surgeon is on the board of directors.  I have been very happy with getting malpractice coverage from CAP.  There are other insurances you will need such as general liability coverage for your medical company (I'll cover more of this at a later time).   This webpage is a personal webpage of Dr. Calvin Lee's.  This does not represent the viewpoints of CAP or MPT (Mutual Protection Trust).

There are other California Malpractice Insurance Companies besides CAP-MPT

I have not explored these insurance companies in much detail.  I am personally covered by CAP-MPT.  They would deserve attention on this website which introduces links to the California Malpractice Insurance world.  Malpractice Insurance is now most often referred to as Professional Medical Liability insurance.

Listed here are links to these California Malpractice Insurance companies and their descriptions offered on their web pages.
