Malpractice insurance company CNA, along with Nurses Service Organization (NSO) has been providing malpractice coverage for nurse practitioners across the country in a variety of practice settings for the last 30 years. The organization released its first report on NP malpractice claims in 2005, and recently released its 5th report analyzing data between 2017 and 2022.  Dr. Kevin Zhang joins me to discuss the findings of this report including:

  • Increase in average total claims for NPs
  • Highest average claim among NPs covered through an NP-office practice
  • Most frequent claim: Failure to diagnose
