Medical Malpractice Insurance Premiums are on the Rise in Oklahoma, According to Fifth Avenue Healthcare Services

TULSA, Okla., Nov. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Medical malpractice insurance premiums are seeing increases of 10-15% on average in Oklahoma. More details below.

Rising medical malpractice insurance premiums in Oklahoma can be attributed to two factors:

  1. Rising amounts of jury verdicts and
  2. Increases in re-insurance costs.

The jury verdicts are not exclusive to Oklahoma. This is a nationwide trend over the last few years that has finally caught up to the carriers bottom lines and are showing up as underwriting losses. Re-insurance premiums are also a nationwide trend. Generally, all insurance risks end up "pooled" with other risks such as hurricanes, wildfires and civil unrest.

At Fifth Avenue Healthcare Services, we have expanded the use of our credentialing services to include relationships with multiple medical malpractice insurance carriers.

As we have delegation with payers, we have an agreement with numerous medical malpractice insurance carriers to accept your completed credentialing file for underwriting purposes rather than have you or your group complete new, traditionally lengthy medical malpractice insurance applications. This means for us to get you a medical malpractice quote, we can request a quote for you easily and quickly, with very minimal or perhaps even no additional paperwork.
