You can now switch indemnity providers — it’s time to review.
Between 2017 and 2019, some practices were locked into legacy protection that restricted switching. That lock-in period has now passed — opening the door to new medico-legal options, without added cost or cover concerns.
If your PCN includes affected practices or GPs, now is the time to reassess your provider.
