Sonographer Insurance FAQs

What indemnity cover do I need for sonographer?

The level of indemnity cover you need depends on your specific role, employer requirements, and professional body recommendations. Many employers and professional bodies specify minimum cover levels. Our advisors can help you determine the appropriate level when you request a quote.

What is a "claims made" policy?

MMI 4u typically provides policies on a "claims made" basis, meaning the policy responds to claims first made and notified during the policy period. This differs from "claims occurring" policies which cover incidents that occurred during the policy period, regardless of when the claim is made.

Can I get a quote and buy online?

Yes, for Sonographers, you can get a quote and buy online, providing immediate cover and documentation when an instant price is available. If your answers need advisor review, we will prepare terms and contact you instead.

How much does sonographer indemnity insurance cost?

Our Sonographers policies start from £167.99 per year and include the option to add additional Commercial Legal Protection. Premiums may vary based on your specific circumstances, level of cover required, and any additional options selected.

What if I've been declined cover elsewhere?

We specialise in providing cover for medical professionals who have been declined by other providers, including the MDU. Our online form will ask about your previous insurance history, and we'll work to find suitable cover for your circumstances.

Do I need run-off cover?

If you have a claims-made policy and are retiring or ceasing practice, you'll typically need run-off cover to protect against claims made after your policy ends. This is especially important for medical professionals, as claims can arise years after treatment. Speak to our advisors for details.

Can I pay monthly?

Yes, we offer monthly direct debit payment options for policies over 90, subject to policy terms. This allows you to spread the cost throughout the year.

Medical Malpractice Claim Examples

  • Surgery

    Three years after stomach surgery, a patient suffers a twisted bowel resulting in a severe obstruction requiring emergency surgery. The surgeon who undertook the initial procedure received a claim in excess of £50k in compensation and fees — it is alleged that failure to complete the initial surgery correctly led to this complication.

  • General practice

    A parent took their infant for a check up following recent signs of illness to which the GP noted as ‘not serious’. The child later developed meningitis and subsequently lost hearing on one side. A claim was made for negligence in respect to the doctor's failure to refer the child and misdiagnosis.

  • Dental

    Following the fitting of dental braces, the patient suffered severe headaches and jaw pain — on formal investigation, it was discovered that the technician had misinterpreted the dentist's instructions and the sizing was incorrect. A claim for compensation and fees in excess of £5k was made for the pain and suffering.

  • Dental

    Following a routine visit to the dentist a patient claimed to have suffered a mouth infection which needed to be treated. It was later alleged that the dental nurse's failure to sterilise the dentist equipment prior to use was the cause of the infection suffered by the patient.

  • Emergency care

    In response to an emergency call, a paramedic began to resuscitate an unconscious patient. Despite successfully resuscitating the patient, during the process the paramedic unfortunately caused the patient to suffer a fractured rib. A claim was made in negligence against the paramedic by the patient following the injury sustained.
