How much do doctors pay for malpractice insurance?

Question

I am mainly interested in Psychiatrists in the state of Texas, but any information would help.

Answer 1

It can depend on the field of medicine that you want to pursue. For example; Doc's that care for OB/GYN patients' ( babies and female issues) tend to have the highest malpractice insurance. Not that I'm saying that it's right but, because these Doc's are dealing with newborn " problems' or post-surgical procedures ( hysterectomy), the Doc tends to get blamed.

I do know that malpractice insurance is quite high for the majority of Docs' ( Internal Medicine, Infectious Diseases, to name a couple).

I would think that even, in the Psychiatry Field, the malpractice insurance is quite high as well.

Too many people are " lawsuit happy ". The problem is that legit problems are clouded over by the " illegit" claims. This results in higher costs for malpractice insurance.

I hope that this helped some.
