What is MPLI?

MPLI stands for Medical Professional Liability Insurance

In any business, there is some degree of liability that comes from providing a service. The healthcare industry is no exception.

There is MPLI and medical malpractice insurance. MPLI stands for ‘Medical Professional Liability Insurance’ and covers such areas as settlement cost, attorney fees and medical damages and is not protection from criminal acts.

Medical malpractice is unique however in that it is a charge leveled against medical providers with tremendous frequency. Medical malpractice cases pose a threat to the welfare of every healthcare entity, and fortunately, there is a way to protect yourself from liability that anyone in your organization could incur from a medical malpractice lawsuit.
