If you are shopping for medical malpractice insurance—especially after a claim, non-renewal, or premium increase—one of the first documents an underwriter will request is your loss-run report. Not having complete, current loss runs is one of the most common reasons a malpractice submission stalls. An application may be fully completed and the physician may otherwise…
