When applying for an anaesthesiologist malpractice insurance quote, having the right information ready can significantly speed up the quoting process and result in more accurate pricing. Whether you run a solo anaesthesia practice or manage a group of sub specialists; cardiac, paediatric, OBGYN, neuro, or pain management, insurance carriers require specific details before offering terms. Here are the top requirements you’ll need to prepare.
1. Provider Credentials and Sub-speciality Information
Insurance carriers need your:
Board certification status
Years of experience
Medical school and residency details
Sub-speciality type (cardiac, paediatric, obstetric, neuroanesthesia, etc.)
Different sub-specialities carry different risk levels, which directly impact your premium.For deeper reference, the American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) offers clinical guidelines and risk‑related resources that insurers often reference.
2. Procedure Profile and Clinical Duties
Carriers need to understand what procedures you perform, including:
Regional blocks
Sedation cases
Pain management procedures
Obstetric anaesthesia
Critical care services
High‑risk procedures may require additional underwriting, so preparing this list early helps speed up the quoting process.
3. Claims History (Loss Runs)
Your claims history is one of the strongest predictors of pricing. Most insurers require 5–10 years of loss runs detailing:
Prior claims
Open claims
Reserves
Settlement amounts
Dismissed or closed cases
Even if you’ve never had a claim, insurers still require official documentation confirming a clean record.
4. Practice Details and Volume
Carriers need to know:
Practice location and number of facilities
Annual case volume
On‑call responsibilities
Use of CRNAs or AAs
Supervision ratios
This helps underwriters assess workload‑based exposure.
5. Coverage Needs and Policy Type
Be prepared to specify:
Claims‑made vs. occurrence policy
Desired limits (e.g., $1M/$3M)
Need for tail coverage
Group vs. individual coverage
