Malpractice/Liability Insurance for Self-Employed RPNs
For RPNs who have an employer the primary malpractice/liability insurance coverage is provided through the employing agency. Those who are self-employed must secure primary insurance coverage through independent agents. Pursuant to a policy of the CRPNM Board of Directors; RPNs who are self-employed are required to hold a minimum of $2,000,000 professional malpractice/liability coverage.
The CRPNM requires that all RPNs who are self-employed provide a copy of the certificate of professional liability insurance on an annual basis. This may be sent with your annual registration renewal documents or annually whenever the insurance term is renewed.
