[Human-readable page](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/harper/medical-malpractice) # Harper Medical Malpractice Insurance Harper Medical Malpractice Insurance Harper places medical malpractice coverage with carriers it describes as familiar with the clinician's or care business's specialty, rather than underwriting the policy itself. [1](https://www.harperinsure.com/coverages/medical-malpractice "Medical Malpractice Insurance") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Product-page description of Harper's placement role for this line.) ## Who It’s For - Harper markets this line to clinicians and care businesses that need malpractice coverage for licensure or facility privileges, and it names tail coverage as a particular concern when a clinician leaves a practice or switches carriers. [1](https://www.harperinsure.com/coverages/medical-malpractice "Medical Malpractice Insurance") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Product-page marketing copy; not an eligibility guarantee for a particular applicant or specialty.) ## Coverage Features - Harper describes the medical malpractice coverage it places as responding to allegations about diagnosis, treatment, medication or supervision decisions, and as including defense of licensing-board complaints in addition to lawsuits. [1](https://www.harperinsure.com/coverages/medical-malpractice "Medical Malpractice Insurance") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Product-page coverage summary; the issued policy and its exclusions control the actual terms.) - Harper says most of the medical malpractice policies it places are claims-made, which makes the retroactive date and tail (extended reporting) coverage important when a clinician changes jobs, retires or switches carriers, and it also places entity coverage for the practice or facility itself, not only individual clinicians. [1](https://www.harperinsure.com/coverages/medical-malpractice "Medical Malpractice Insurance") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: FAQ and coverage-features text on the product page; actual trigger and tail terms depend on the specific policy.) ## Limits and Retentions - **Not publicly disclosed.** The reviewed medical malpractice page does not publish limit or retention amounts; it says cost and, implicitly, available terms depend on specialty, volume and claims history. [1](https://www.harperinsure.com/coverages/medical-malpractice "Medical Malpractice Insurance") (Scope: Medical malpractice product page as read on 2026-09-23.) ## Risk Services - Harper says it can issue certificates and quotes the same day for this line, and describes reaching both large carriers and specialty markets that write malpractice for a given specialty. [1](https://www.harperinsure.com/coverages/medical-malpractice "Medical Malpractice Insurance") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Product-page service claims; not independently timed or confirmed for a particular request.) ## How to Apply - You apply for Harper medical malpractice coverage through an online quote form, and Harper says a specialist walks applicants through the occurrence-versus-claims-made and tail-coverage tradeoffs before they commit.
