I would like to eitherget a name of someone I could discuss a current issue with. I have been insured through AANA for my entire 30 years as a CRNA, I have never had any suit brought against me during that time. In late 2009 I decided to no longer do clinical but continue to run my small Corp. Upon reviewing my latest contract,in Dec 2010 with the hospital I noticed that I was required to maintain insurance on myself as well as the corporate entity.Since I had put my licenses on the inactive list at that time I was told by AANA Insurance that I needed to reinstate them before I could get insurance coverage. After much work and money I accomplished getting my licenses reinstated. I then was refused coverage by AANA because I still was not doing clinical. It seemed to me that this would significantly lesson their exposure to any claims.
I have had a corp that has supplied anesthesia coverage for the past 9 years to a single hospital. All of the CRNA’s who are Independent Contractors have their own malpractice insurance. They are all covered through AANA.
I have since gotten insurance through another broker who was suggested by AANA Insurance. After discusing the issue with my lawyer we felt that I neded to find some way to get coverage through the AANA and hope to be able to get a “Nose” for the time frame when I was not covered. I did have a “Tail” to cover me and the “Slots” I had.
It appears if I can not come up with a solution I will have to sacrifice my ownership in my Corp.
Thanks for taking the time to review my comment.

I am currently seeking a position in Florida at a surgery center. I would be per diem. I need to have my own malpractice policy.
