Out of all physicians,OB/GYNs probably face the greatest risk of medical malpractice. OB/GYNs are held to a very high standard of care because they are dealing with a woman’s reproductive system, a fetus, or an infant. Any error that leads to permanent physical consequences for both mother and child can be truly devastating. There is a heavy, emotional impact that can affect a woman for the rest of her life.



There are many ways that a lawsuit can be brought against an OB/GYN. One of the most common instances of malpractice is cancer misdiagnosis or failure to diagnosis a disease or infection. Anything related to pap smears, ultrasounds, menopause, or biopsies that causes harm to a patient can be subject to a malpractice lawsuit.

Out of all physicians, OB/GYNs face some of the highest risk of medical malpractice claims. Because OB/GYNs care for women, as well as their fetuses if they are pregnant, and deliver babies, care can be complex and challenging. Errors can be significant for both mother and child.


At Nexus Insurance Services, we understand the complexity of being an OB/GYN and we specialize in their coverage. 

OB/GYN Malpractice Insurance Rates

Not only are OB/GYNs sued frequently, but they pay some of the highest claims and, therefore, larger insurance premiums than many other medical specialties.


Malpractice insurance rates can vary considerably from state to state. States like New York, California, and Illinois have the highest rates whereas states like Michigan, Texas, and Minnesota have the lowest rates. For example, an OB/GYN in New York can pay between $60,000 for malpractice insurance per year up to $100,000 per year. In Michigan, the premium for physician malpractice insurance can average around $30,000-50,000 per year.
