Thank you Trisha… Same to you, and a very safe and healthy New Year…. Thanks for all you do for all of us…

Gail, we had the exact problem you are describing because of my business partner being a physician. Neither Hiscox nor Markel were willing to touch us. I spent HOURS on the phone with them, filling out paperwork that then got rejected. Telling them this is consulting, not actually providing medical service did not work for them, they would just…[Read more]

All good news, Gail! Thanks for your diligence… well done!

Yes – let’s revisit all this after the 1st of the year, and we’ll add this good information to the website.

However! Here’s the link you need: https://myapha.org/academy/homepage-f…[Read more]

Gail – have you tried NSO? They have always been willing to attach an advocacy rider to their nursing coverage. The info is on the insurance carriers page: https://myapha.org/centers/insurance-for-your-practice/providers/

I’m unable to link to the Course Assessment. Anyone have any luck?

I am finding the struggles to be the fact that I am a licensed RN-even though that should not be an issue when practicing as an advocate. Hiscox and Markel will not write a policy, (nor will any of the companies I made an inquiry with a few months ago), since I am and RN, or even if I was a retired RN. is writing a policy as an RN with an…[Read more]
