Credentialing question: proof of liability insurance

[WKShadowNP, DNP, APRN]

In the communication between my credentialing coordinator, the onboarding liaison, and my current and past employers I've hit a snag that I suspect will further delay in starting my new hospitalist role.

I've been employed for almost 8.5 years in my current RN role. This company has yet to provide the information, but I suspect when they do, it will be complete (I hope.) My previous employer submitted a simple statement that indicated I was indeed employed for two years, the dates, and that Yes, I was covered under their liability coverage during my time.

But that was all.

My new employer wants more details about the coverage such as policy name and underwriter as well as amounts. I was able to submit my personal coverage and the pertinent data. I don't understand why the others have not/cannot.

So my question is this: do any of you have experience in this aspect and how did you manage it?

In IL, there is one common malpractice insurer for big companies, hospitals and I would suspect (hope) that is the case for your state. Just ask HR at the previous place you worked the name of the company and policy number - its not a big deal to ask for it....

We did and the response was underwhelming. I'm hoping that asking again will give the pertinent data.

call 'em they should be able to provide the information. I had to provide the information from my school where we were required to have coverage.
