The average dentist faces a malpractice claim at least once. Selecting a malpractice insurance carrier with the stability and expertise to protect your good name is crucial.

Washington Dentists’ Insurance Agency’s (WDIA) preferred partner for dental malpractice coverage is MedPro Group, a Berkshire Hathaway company. MedPro is the industry-leading malpractice carrier for dentists. MedPro clients benefit from helpful risk management resources and the company’s 125+ years of claims experience.

Coverage for Dentists

WDIA brings personalized service and an in-depth understanding of Washington dentistry to ensure the risks you face are covered by your policy. MedPro is the largest dental malpractice insurance carrier in the United States.

Together, WDIA and MedPro deliver knowledge and support to ensure dentists choose the right coverage for their practice. With our combined experience, you can practice with the peace of mind that your coverage is tailored to you.

Educational Resources for Risk Management

WDIA and MedPro excel in equipping dentists with the proper tools to find and address risks in their practice before they become liabilities Claims prevention is just as important as claims defense. As a MedPro policyholder, you gain access to continuing education with a wealth of risk management resources including online courses, informational materials, and consultations with risk advisors. These resources can help you identify potential vulnerabilities in your practice and establish proactive processes to safeguard your career.

WDIA clients also benefit from MedPro’s suite of risk management content, including insightful articles and case studies, which help dentists practice more safely. With MedPro’s case studies, dentists can read real-life claim examples to learn how to navigate risks in their practice.

Financial Stability

One of the primary benefits of MedPro’s coverage is its financial strength. MedPro holds the highest possible financial rating – A++ (AM Best). This means that dentists can rely on MedPro Group to protect them for the entirety of their careers.

Unmatched Legal Defense Support

The legal landscape in healthcare is complex. Even the most diligent dentists may face malpractice claims during their careers. MedPro’s dental malpractice coverage offers exceptional legal support, providing dentists with access to top attorneys experienced in dental defense.

Here in Washington, where malpractice claims are modestly increasing year-over-year, this legal backing is invaluable. MedPro’s team works to protect dentists’ reputations and licenses, defending against frivolous claims. At WDIA, we appreciate that MedPro’s coverage helps you continue your work without undue financial strain. You can practice with peace of mind knowing that MedPro closes 80% of malpractice claims without payment and wins 95% of dental claims that go to trial.

Support During Career Transitions

Dentists often experience career transitions. Whether you are new to Washington, transitioning from associate to (co)owner, scaling back, or choosing to retire but staying active as a fill-in provider, WDIA and MedPro support professional transitions with flexible policy options.

For instance, MedPro can offer prior acts coverage if you are transitioning off a claims-made policy with another carrier as well as free tail coverage upon retirement. This is particularly advantageous for retiring dentists or dentists selling their practices. It is important to remain protected from claims that might arise after you retire.

For Washington’s younger dentists or those just starting their careers, MedPro offers affordable entry-level policies that grow with your practice.
