It is really worthrepparttar cost and effort, and apropos cost, it doesn't cost much at all!

    Should you ever decide you want to volunteer, or work at a part-time position, or even do private duty, since many medical assistants have a background as former home health aides or CNAs, in additional to your full-time position, an individual policy covers you for your duties in both positions and circumstances.

Here is a checklist of items to use when analyzing your employer’s policy:

    1. Are you listed by name on your employer’s policy? 2. Are legal costs included inrepparttar 101800 limits of liability, or will they be paid in addition to policy limits? 3. If a malpractice claim is filed against you, will this professional liability policy pay legal fees and court costs in addition to your policy limit, even if you are not liable forrepparttar 101801 charges brought against you? 4. If you decide to change employers and are covered under a claims-made policy, will your former employer be responsible for payingrepparttar 101802 cost ofrepparttar 101803 tail coverage? 5. Is policy available in all 50 states?

    If you answered NO to any of these questions, investigate purchasing your own individual policy through one ofrepparttar 101804 many malpractice and professional liability programs available.
