NP's Malpractice insurance....

Published

Specializes in ER, CCU.

I was just wondering, how much is the insurance for a FNP or just a NP in general. I am a BSN student with the hopes of after graduation, passing the NCLEX and a few years experience i will go back to school for my FNP. I live in Ohio, and was curious if anyone here knows the going rate in Ohio, and if you live in another state what do you pay. I was at work the other day and we were talking about doctors . How does the NP's insurance compare. This in no way shape or form keep me from following my dreams just looking for a ballpark estimate!!

Siri - just curious - are you also covered by your employer? Do they pay for your private malpractice also?

I've always carried individual insurance, traumaRUs. And, this last clinic covered me on theirs as well.

I have been using NSO ever since I was in the BSN program.... No problems so far. My rates did go up significantly after I entered into the nurse practitioner world though.

Wow, for fun I checked mine and it was about 94.00/yr for RN, and 1,204/yr for NP. Quite a difference!

I paid $850 per year to cover patients 12 and up as an Adult NP. When I started covering patients of all ages (FNP), excluding OB (I don't see pregnant patients), my rates went up to $1600 per year! It makes no sense, since elderly patients are WAY more complicated than pedes patients! Someone, please explain...

I suspect people are far more likely to sue you if you damage their child rather than their grandma.
