350: [WORK] How to Prepare for a Possible Lawsuit

“It’s not if you get sued; it’s when.” That’s what one of my preceptors told me when I was in PA school. I was floored. Now that I’ve been practicing as a PA for over a decade, I’ve seen colleagues be named in lawsuits and better understand the liabilities I face in my job. This is why it’s imperative for PAs to have medical malpractice insurance. As the PA profession is modernizing, PAs have more exposure to patients, which is excellent to be able to care for more people but also opens up a greater possibility of being sued. My guest today is Will Sullivan, the executive vice president of CM&F group, a leading malpractice insurance company that has been serving PAs and other healthcare professionals for decades. In today’s episode, Will explains the nuances of different types of malpractice policies and how your premium can be determined. We also discuss whether or not you can rely solely on your employer-sponsored malpractice policy or whether you should purchase your own. As Will says in today’s episode, your license is your biggest asset as a healthcare provider. Learn how you can best protect it. SPONSORS 🏆CM&F GROUP: www.cmfgroup.com/ThePAIsInADVANCED PRACTICE PLANNING, LLC: advancedpracticeplanning.com/fiCOACHING 🎓THE PART-TIME PATHWAY⁠https://www.tracybingaman.com/pathway⁠FREE 30-MINUTE COACHING CONSULT⁠ ⁠https://calendly.com/the-pa-is-in/gen-call⁠  ⁠1-ON-1 NEGOTIATION CONSULT https://calendly.com/the-pa-is-in/negotiate⁠CONNECT WITH TRACY 🤝⁠LINKEDIN https://www.linkedin.com/in/tracybingaman/⁠⁠INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/mrstracybingaman/⁠WEBSITE⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.tracybingaman.comSUPPORT THIS PODCAST 👍https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thepaisin/support
