The malpractice insurance toolkit for doctors of optometry

As a doctor of optometry, knowing what to look for in a malpractice insurance policy may be confusing. AOAExcel® and its endorsed malpractice insurance provider, Lockton Affinity, have developed the following resources to help you choose the malpractice insurance policy that best suits your needs so that you can practice up to your state’s full scope with the peace of mind that you are protected. 

Learn about malpractice insurance 

Malpractice insurance policies come with a variety of policy types, limits, exclusions, etc., and it is important for optometrists to be familiar with the different components of malpractice insurance policies to decide which policy will fully protect them. Lockton Affinity has helped us define some of the key concepts involved in malpractice insurance policies and how those concepts apply to optometrists, specifically.
