As a physician about to complete your residency or fellowship, you have questions regarding malpractice coverage…
Will it cost me a huge amount of money?
Not with The SCPIE Companies! If you’ve completed your residency/fellowship within the past 12 months, SCPIE will charge you a base premium that’s approximately half the full base rate paid by more-established physicians. And we’ll offer you a New-to-Practice discount that further reduces your rate by 75% in the first year after your
residency/fellowship, 50% in the second and 25% in the third. Bottom line? During the year after your residency/fellowship, you’ll pay only about a tenth of what more established doctors pay!
How does that translate to actual dollars?

Will being approved take a long time?
With SCPIE, you don’t have to wait for a two-week underwriting review to be approved; once we prescreen you, we usually can OK your coverage in a day or two. Even if you don’t have your first job yet, you can apply to SCPIE for malpractice coverage. Get prescreened now, and you’ll be all set when you do find that job!
Will the policy be able to move with me?
If you ever decide to relocate within California, it will cover you throughout the state. Also, if your first “job” is actually made up of a number of part-time positions, your liability protection will follow you to each of them.
We have the right answers to your questions!
