[PrvPracNP] medical malpractice

[Lehigh Valley Wellness Center]

NSO is not very advanced practice friendly.

They don't want to insure nurse practitioners in private practice.

They also don't want to insure anyone who does aesthetic procedures.

I have had some past experience with them and they are very difficult to
deal with.

I would not recommend them to any nurse.

Marsh Affinity has it own quirks about APNs in private practice.

It seems that there are no malpractice insurance companies that understand
the role of an advance practice nurse.

 

Thanks

While I realize NSO is the most popular insurance for nurses/np's - if you
are doing anything they think might be "iffy" they will not insure.
Sometimes that can mean having your own practice without physician
involvement (as I found out with another company) or in the case of NSO -
they would not insure me because I have an Acupuncturist in the office (not
an employee, but an independent provider - she is her own legal entity and
has her own insurance.

Why has NSO been a disappointment ? I have had RN insurance through them for
25 years
