Do you have all the coverage you need for your non-medical activities?


As a nursing professional, do you ever use your nursing skills and knowledge in settings that do not involve direct patient care? More and more often, nurses and nurse practitioners are participating in educational and consulting activities in addition to - or instead of --direct patient care. However, did you know these activities may not be covered under your current Professional Liability insurance policy?

  • Training
  • Speaking at seminars
  • Providing expert testimony
  • Rendering advice in your area of specialization
  • Teaching
  • Legal consultation

Like hands-on patient care, these activities carry unique legal risks. Even providing information or advice to a large number of patients or caregivers may be increasing your exposure to the risk of a lawsuit.

There is an easy and affordable way to protect yourself from the consequences of a lawsuit resulting from these services. Add the Consulting Services Liability Endorsement to your professional liability policy for only $25 a year*. You'll be covered for lawsuits resulting from advice, testimony or consulting you provide as a licensed medical professional. (If you are managing a patient's total care; developing, assessing and coordination treatment plans; or conducting utilization review, call today for information on our Case Management endorsement 1-800-247-1500.)

This coverage is available to you whether you are full-time, part-time, employed or self-employed.

Complete your Protection Today for Just $25 a Year*.

*IMPORTANT - To add this coverage after your professional liability insurance policy effective date, you will be required to pay only a portion of the full premium of $25.00. Please call our Customer Service Center at 1-800-247-1500, Monday-Friday 8AM-6PM Eastern Time, and a licensed representative will calculate the premium amount due based on your policy effective date and the date that you add this new coverage to your policy. Then, simply download the request form and return it to NSO within 30 days of your request, along with your payment of the premium due.
