Why do physician assistants need business insurance?
Working as a physician assistant (PA) can be a rewarding experience, but it also leaves you vulnerable to risks. Sometimes your employer's insurance, or that of a temporary agency, may not protect you. Business insurance provides peace of mind and risk management against lawsuits and injuries that might otherwise overwhelm your small business.

What types of insurance do physician assistants need?
These coverage options protect against risks faced by physician assistants and related healthcare professionals.
General liability insurance
This policy helps pay for lawsuits from common accidents, such as a senior citizen who trips and breaks a hip. It's often required for a commercial lease.
BEST FOR
- Slip-and-fall accidents
- Damaged patient property
- Libel and other advertising injuries
Business owner’s policy
A business owner's policy, or BOP, is a cost-effective way for physician assistants to combine commercial property insurance with a general liability insurance policy.
BEST FOR
- Slip-and-fall accidents
- Damaged patient property
- Stolen or damaged medical tools
Professional liability / medical malpractice
Professional liability coverage, also called medical malpractice insurance, covers defense costs if a patient sues a physician assistant for an error, such as administering the wrong medication.
BEST FOR
- Failure to deliver promised services
- Accusations of negligence
- Mistakes or oversights (e.g., failing to administer first aid)
Workers’ compensation insurance
Most states require workers' comp for physician assistant practices that have employees. It also protects sole proprietors from work injury costs that health insurance might deny.
BEST FOR
- Employee medical expenses
- Disability benefits
- Legal fees from employee injuries
Commercial auto insurance
Most states require commercial auto insurance for vehicles owned by a physician assistant's business. It helps cover the cost of an accident involving your business vehicle.
BEST FOR
- Damage caused by your vehicle
- Medical bills from an auto accident
- Vehicle theft and vandalism
Cyber insurance
This policy helps physician assistants pay costs associated with data breaches and cyberattacks. It can often be added to a business owner's policy or general liability policy for savings.
BEST FOR
- Customer notification expenses
- Data breach lawsuits (e.g., HIPAA data compromised)
- Fraud monitoring costs
