Is CRNA/nurse anesthesiologist malpractice insurance coverage available for CRNAs/nurse anesthesiologists who have had claims, substance abuse issues, license forfeitures or board of nursing complaints?

In most cases, the answer is yes. However, because there has been an underwriting issue, the insurance company will usually require supplemental information in addition to the application. This tends to extend the application process.

Important note: policy coverages for an applicant with an underwriting issue may not be as broad as for an applicant without such an issue. The policy premium may also be higher for an applicant who has an underwriting issue.
