Nurse Practitioners & Allied Healthcare Professionals
Why We're In Business
- In 2005, Florida had the highest number of malpractice claims in the nation against nursing professionals.
- Many insurers stopped writing policies covering nursing professionals.
- Nursing professionals and allied health care providers were forced by traditional carriers to buy policies with costly, high limits.
- High limits attracted fee-hungry lawyers looking for deep pockets.
- The Florida Nurses Association set out to find an answer.
- Sophia Palmer Risk Retention Group was formed to serve nursing professionals in Florida. The recent merger with Lewis & Clark RRG makes coverage available nation-wide and allows nursing professionals to move from one state to another without losing coverage.

You May Think You're Covered When You're Not
- If the facility where you work has "finite insurance," you don't have State required malpractice coverage.
- Consult your management to find out how the facility is insured.
- Contact us to get covered if your facility has a "finite" policy.
