Malpractice Insurance for PAs | Claims-Made vs Occurrence, Tail Coverage Explained (Podcast Ep. 171)

Malpractice insurance is something most PAs and other clinicians assume they understand, until they’re faced with a complaint, claim, or lawsuit. In this episode, we break down Malpractice Insurance 101 for PAs with Christopher Cannell, DMSc, MPAS, MPLC, PA-C, DFAAPA, founder of The APC Consultant, and explore what medical providers actually need to know to protect their license, career, and peace of mind. This conversation goes beyond the basics to explain claims-made vs. occurrence malpractice insurance, tail coverage, and common misconceptions about employer-provided malpractice policies. Chris shares real-world medical-legal insights and an anonymized case example that highlights how small assumptions can turn into major legal and financial risks for clinicians. We also dive into risk management strategies that matter in real life, how legal uncertainty fuels burnout and defensive medicine, and why understanding malpractice insurance is a critical, but often missing, piece of clinician self-care. Whether you’re early in your PA career or years into practice, this episode will help you feel more informed, confident, and proactive about protecting yourself in today’s healthcare environment.
