ANA GIVES MEMBERS A HAND IN PROTECTING THEIR CAREERS

Alabama Nurse, Jun-Aug 2005

The American Nurses Association offers their members the ANA-sponsored Professional Liability Insurance Program. It is an excellent opportunity for members to protect themselves from the risk of a malpractice claim. With liability limits up to $2,000,000 per incident/$4,000,000 aggregate, you can be assured that your family and your assets will be protected. What's even better is that there are now four ways for you to save on your annual premium. You can receive a 10% premium credit if you have one of the following (only one 10% credit is allowed):

* Participate in an approved risk management seminar earning at least 4 credit hours, or

* Carry an approved certification, or

* Work in a Magnet Hospital, or

* Work in a unit that has received the Beacon Award for Critical Care Excellence.

ANA knows that your peace of mind is extremely important to you and sought out a plan to protect you 24 hours a day. The Plan includes features such as licensing board defense reimbursement, loss of earnings coverage, deposition reimbursement, and defense costs coverage.
