Medical Malpractice: San Diego Physicians’ Best Option
Choosing a medical malpractice coverage provider is one of the most important decisions any physician will make.
When purchasing coverage for medical malpractice, San Diego physicians are buying more than just coverage during a claim. Your ideal company will offer resources that help prevent adverse outcomes before they occur. They will offer supplemental insurance, benefits, and resources aimed at helping you manage your practice effectively.
And, most importantly, they will be accessible.
They will have risk management experts who visit your practice and work with you to reduce the possibility of risk. And, if an adverse outcome turns into a claim, they will be there with the finest legal counsel available.
When it comes to medical malpractice, San Diego physicians like you cannot afford to accept anything less than the absolute best protection.
That’s where the Cooperative of American Physicians, Inc. (CAP) comes in.
