My DPC Malpractice Insurance

In this podcast episode of DPC Pediatricians, Marina welcomes Citlally Mancilla, founder of My DPC Insurance, to discuss malpractice insurance specifically for physicians practicing Direct Primary Care. Citlally shares how her experience in medical malpractice insurance led her to recognize that DPC physicians often have a lower risk profile than traditional primary care physicians due to smaller patient panels, longer visits, fewer hospital responsibilities, and differences in billing and practice structure. The conversation explores what physicians should understand when shopping for their own malpractice coverage, how DPC-specific factors can affect premiums, and why having an insurance professional who understands the DPC model can be valuable. They also discuss coverage considerations for new and established practices, the importance of accurately representing a practice’s current size and services when applying for coverage, and how some DPC physicians may be able to significantly reduce their malpractice insurance costs while maintaining appropriate coverage.
