If nurse practitioners are going to be providing more care under Prescription for Pennsylvania, shouldnt they be covered under medical malpractice policies?
In most cases, nurse practitioners already carry medical malpractice insurance for the services they provide. The legislation proposed by the Administration requires nurse practitioners to carry adequate professional liability insurance against medical malpractice claims; however, the cost of this insurance is not prohibitive as the level of risk for the care provided by non-physician health care practitioners is relatively low.
