Professional Liability Insurance/Malpractice Insurance Questions

[amalay, MSN, RN]

I never fully learned how to deal with professional Liability Insurance so would appreciate any advice people might have. I've held a couple jobs in the past so I need some help in figuring out tail-insurance and how it all works.

I'm about to switch jobs for the second time, and have always had claims-made policies. The first time I changed jobs, I bought tail insurance on my own.

In this past year, I've held both a full time position and a per-diem position, at which both employers also took care of my malpractice insurance under a claims-made policy. Now that I'm switching jobs again, do I need to purchase a separate tail-insurance policy again for both of my soon-to-be previous employers?

Hope one of AN's NP guru's can provide an answer.
