New Grad NP Liability Insurance?

[mangopeach]

Does anyone know anything about this? I graduated in December. Will start my first job as a psych NP in June. I am seeing big discrepancy in price from 2 companies.

CM& F - discount total cost would be less than $200 for first year new grad NP.

For NSO, the new grad first year discount would be $899 for the first year.

I am confused.

I any case the employer should be paying for it.

I would be worried about the 200 dollar offer.

I will be an independent contractor. Not an employee. They have a contract for a local clinic. I am employed through the agency not the clinic.

[Oldmahubbard]

Are you in a state requiring any type of supervision?

Sounds too good to be true

[mangopeach]

I will be supervised. Its not a typical agency so maybe I shouldn't call it that. Its run by a group of physicians. You could say they get Locums work for local clinics/hospitals/. Some of the assignments are temp, some are permanent. This will be a permanent assignment. There are already other MDs and NPs at the site I will be working.

I did my clinicals at one of the other sites.

I must have been too excited that I didn't pay attention to this part. I just went back and read all the paper work. I will be reimbursed. I still want to know why there is such a big discrepancy though.
