Agent vs. Broker

Most physicians or office managers are too busy to adequately shop the complex medical malpractice insurance market by themselves. The ones who do attempt to do so usually do not have the knowledge and experience necessary to achieve the best and most economical protection for themselves.  Do yourself a favor—enlist the services of an insurance professional to assess your particular situation to find the best medical malpractice insurance for your needs.

"Agents" usually represent one insurance company and only provide quotes for one company where as "Brokers" represent multiple companies and are representatives of their clients.

Ideally it would probably be in your best interest to use a Broker that has access to multiple markets and can give you more of an un-biast perspective compared to an Agent that will provide you quotes from their one carrier.
