Can't speak for all specialties but it is my understanding that OBgyns and Neurosurgeons have the highest rates... some as high as 200 K per year.

Physician assistants, nurses, physical therapists, nurse practioners all pay for malpractice insurance but have much better rates... nurses generally around a hundred bucks a year for 1mil/3mil policy.
