Insurance for IME side gig?

[Baron Samedi]

If a doc wanted to do IMEs separate from their employed gig, what sort of insurance would they need? This would be separate from normal employee provided malpractice insurance.

None. Because it's not a doctor-patient relationship. Maybe "errors and omissions" if you were really worried about it.

Agree. I’m pretty risk averse, so would probably get E&O, as it’s cheap. How that would come into play is hard to figure.

Having a decent security apparatus at your house is probably worthwhile in the case you give an unfavorable opinion on a nut job.

Definitely get this. Otherwise bizness as usual

Errors and omission. That’s it.
