MPLI stands for Medical Professional Liability Insurance
In any business, some degree of liability comes from providing a service. The healthcare industry is no exception.
There is MPLI and medical malpractice insurance. MPLI stands for ‘Medical Professional Liability Insurance’ and covers such areas as settlement costs, attorney fees, and medical damages and is not protection from criminal acts.
Medical malpractice is unique, however, because it is a charge leveled against medical providers with tremendous frequency. Medical malpractice cases pose a threat to the welfare of every healthcare entity. Fortunately, there is a way to protect yourself from liability that anyone in your organization could incur from a medical malpractice lawsuit.

MPLI Demystified
Medical Professional Liability Insurance (MPLI) is professional liability insurance used to cover medical entities. It protects them in areas where they may suffer during the process of having services disputed for injury or loss that occurs in the process of providing medical care.
MPLI covers areas such as settlement costs, attorney fees, and medical damages. While it does not offer liability protection for criminal acts, MPLI does provide protection and defense, and many MPLI providers also provide risk mitigation and consultation services.
