Medical Indemnity Insurance
Reference only — not medical advice. See disclaimer.
A contract under which an insurer agrees to defend and pay claims made against a healthcare professional for alleged negligence in the provision of clinical care. Indemnity may be provided as a regulated insurance contract or through a discretionary mutual scheme such as the MDU or MPS. UK clinicians must hold appropriate indemnity arrangements as a condition of GMC registration; many medical-tourism destinations operate distinct indemnity regimes that may limit a foreign patient's recourse.
