I used PLI consultants to help me obtain tail coverage after leaving a practice. Super helpful and always available to chat on the phone to answer questions. As I was making my decision, they were super patient and didn’t pressure me to make a quick decision. Would definitely recommend!

I cannot recommend Nick at PLI Consulting highly enough! As a physician, finding the right malpractice insurance at a competitive rate felt overwhelming, but Nick made the process seamless. He not only secured the best coverage at the lowest price but also took the time to explain every detail, ensuring I had no surprises.

What truly sets Nick apart is his unwavering work ethic. He responded to my emails at 7pm, 8pm, even on weekends—it’s clear he’s deeply committed to his clients. That level of dedication is rare, and it’s why I chose him over other agencies. If you want someone who will go above and beyond to find your best malpractice insurance, Nick is your guy.

Thank you, Nick, for your expertise and tireless support! - Dr. Han

Frequently Asked Questions

What is long-term care malpractice insurance?

Long-term care malpractice insurance is a type of professional liability insurance that protects nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and senior care providers from claims related to negligent care, treatment errors, or resident injury caused by staff or facility operations.

Long-term care liability insurance is essential for operators of nursing homes, assisted living facilities, skilled nursing facilities, memory care units, intermediate care facilities, and continuing care retirement communities to protect against resident care and operational risks.

Long-term care liability insurance typically covers clinical negligence, resident injury, abuse allegations, premises liability, legal defense costs, and regulatory or licensing board investigations.

The cost of long-term care liability insurance depends on factors such as facility type, number of beds, location, claims history, and coverage limits. Premiums vary widely, but comparing multiple carriers helps secure more competitive pricing.

Professional liability covers errors or negligence in resident care, while general liability covers non-care-related risks such as slip-and-fall accidents or property damage occurring on the facility premises.

Yes, multi-location operators should carry separate coverage limits for each facility to prevent a claim at one location from impacting the coverage available for others.
