Hi Janene - There is a hot topic poll on this issue the RBMA did in 2021. Suspect the info collected in 2021 won't be very different now.
http://app.surveymethods.com/Publish.aspx?vmRE%2bOuCuNU%3dAgree with David, that most of the time your counsel and broker will advise against providing nose coverage to a radiologist leaving a practice to come to your practice.
We can't find occurence coverage in our state.
If a radiologist leaves our practice, to join another or if a radiologist is in breach of contract, they pay the tail.
If we terminate a radiologist (without cause), practice pays the tail.
Rads who retire from our practice after 10 years of service, get a free tail.

Subject: tail policies and reimbursement for coverage?
What are most practices doing regarding tail coverage?
Does your ins policy include tail coverage?
Does your company pay for a separate tail policy when the physician leaves?
Does your company require the departing physician to pay for their own tail policy, and if so, does your company kick in any reimbursement for that policy?
