Which Doctors' Indemnity Policies Don't Actually Cover Malpractice — Three of 13 Carriers Fail the Bodily-Injury Test

By Best Worst Insurance Editorial TeamUpdated 17 August 2026

Almost every claim a doctor will ever face is a claim for bodily injury to a patient — so the first question to ask of an indemnity policy is whether its published wording responds to bodily injury at all. Three of the thirteen carriers we audited cannot be shown to. Tata AIG's Professional Shield — the wording behind its doctors marketing page — excludes Bodily Injury outright [1], and its dedicated dentist page carries the same exclusion in its own list [2]. Bajaj's published wording defines "Loss" as financial injury *other than* that arising out of bodily injury, which read literally leaves the base policy unable to answer a malpractice claim [3]. SBI General has no doctors' indemnity product at all — confirmed against its own filed product list, not merely unlocated [4]. Two more carriers cannot be tested in either direction: Future Generali publishes no document whatsoever [5], and Go Digit's readable paper is a generic professional-liability policy whose limits are set entirely by the schedule [6]. The remaining eight — all four public-sector insurers, ICICI Lombard, IFFCO Tokio, IndusInd and HDFC ERGO's Mediserve — carry the medical exclusion architecture of a policy that does respond to patient injury [7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14].

Does the published wording respond to patient bodily injury? All 13 carriers, worst first

"Yes" means the insurer's own filed document, on its face, answers a claim for bodily injury to a patient. "No" means the published wording excludes or defines out that peril. "Cannot be tested" means there is no doctors' document to read — an absence we record as a result, not a blank [5]. Documents accessed July 2026.

CarrierCovers patient injury on the published wording?What the document actually saysVerdict on this axis
Tata AIGNo — excluded outrightThe published Professional Shield wording behind the doctors' marketing page excludes Bodily Injury — physical injury, sickness, disease or death [1]; the dedicated dentists' page repeats that third-party bodily injury is not covered [2]; an entity named as policyholder is not an insured [1]The widest gap in the market between what is marketed to doctors and what is filed
Bajaj General (ex Bajaj Allianz)No on the base wording"Loss" is defined as financial injury other than that arising out of bodily injury or property damage [3]; there is no retroactive machinery in the wording either [3] — while the brochure prices a general pathologist at ₹1,250 [15]Doctors are quoted a price against paper that defines their peril away
SBI GeneralNo product to testNo doctors' professional indemnity product exists — confirmed against the insurer's own filed UIN product list, not merely unlocated [4]The honest failure: nothing to buy, so nothing to misread
Future Generali (Generali Central)Cannot be testedNo wording, prospectus, CIS or UIN exists publicly and the product is absent from the insurer's own filed-product list [5]; the only public description also excludes plastic and cosmetic surgeons [5]Unverifiable by absence — everything known about it is broker paper
Go DigitCannot be tested for doctorsThe readable document is a generic professional-liability policy with no ratio menu and limits set purely by the schedule [6], a Participation Percentage coinsurance the insured is forbidden to insure against [6], panel lawyers only [6] and a hammer clause [3,1,6]A complete paper trail for a product that is not a doctors' policy
United IndiaYes — on the documents that existThe filed customer information sheet sets a doctors' compulsory excess of 0.50% of the limit [12] and the exclusions are the medical set, with cosmetic surgery excluded flat and no burns carve-back [7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14]; only one insurer in this market publishes wording, prospectus and CIS together [14,24]A real doctors' product, read from its CIS rather than its wording — ask for the wording before signing
New India AssuranceYesA doctors' wording descended from the 1991 Market Agreement [25,7,8,13], excluding cosmesis while carving burns, trauma and scar repair back in [7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14] and excluding dentist-administered general anaesthesia outside a hospital [8,7,10]Responds to patient injury on its face — though the wording is not published on the insurer's own site [7,26]
National InsuranceYesThe same 1991-lineage doctors' wording [25,7,8,13] with cosmesis carve-backs preserved [7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14] and unqualified staff coverable on additional premium [8,25]Clean on this axis; its defects are elsewhere — two different excess rates in one filed document [8]
Oriental InsuranceYesThe same PSU doctors' wording [25,7,8,13], though cosmetic surgery is excluded flat with no burns or trauma carve-back [7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14]Covers the peril, but the insurer has lost custody of the document — it survives only in the Wayback Machine [13]
ICICI LombardYes — expresslyThe excess is applied to death and bodily-injury claims inclusive of defence costs [9] — a clause that can only exist in a policy that pays bodily-injury claims — and each named assistant, nurse and technician is separately indemnified [9]The clearest textual confirmation of the peril, in the stalest paper: the wording still cites service tax [9]
IFFCO TokioYesA doctors' and medical-establishments wording with the medical exclusion set and cosmesis carve-backs [7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14], an extension for staff not professionally qualified to operate the facility, and a cross-liabilities clause [10]Passes this test and has the widest lapse safety net — its reporting window opens whichever side ends the policy [10]
IndusInd (ex-Reliance)Yes, with an eligibility barA current doctors' wording carrying the medical exclusion set with burns and scar-repair carve-backs [7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14]; plastic surgeons are not eligible for the product at all [27]Real doctors' paper; the CIS beside it is marine-cargo boilerplate [28]
HDFC ERGO — MediserveYesA 2025-26 doctors-specific wording excluding opioid and vaping liability, clinical trials, IVF and wrongful-life claims, and anaesthesia not administered by a registered anaesthesiologist [14] — exclusions that only make sense in a policy paying for patient harm — written across doctors and establishments alike [14,24]The strongest pass, and the only full public document set [14,24] — undone on a different axis by a zero-day reporting window [14]
IMA PPS / NPPS (a mutual pool, not insurance)Protects the peril, but not by contractThe schemes take up medical-practice cases, but they are not IRDAI-regulated and offer no Ombudsman recourse [29,30], cover incidents only during active membership with no tail [31,30,32,33], and cap protection at ₹10 lakh per case under the national scheme [30]Off the matrix by design — a supplement to a policy, not a substitute for one

1. The one test to run before any other

Every other question about a doctors' indemnity policy — the excess, the reporting window, the AOA:AOY ratio, the price — assumes the policy answers the claim in the first place. For a doctor, that claim is almost always a claim for bodily injury: a patient harmed, disabled or killed. So the first test is brutally simple. Take the document the insurer publishes and ask whether, on its face, it responds to bodily injury.

Professional indemnity was not built for that. The standard errors-and-omissions template was written for advisers whose mistakes cost money, and it excludes bodily injury and property damage as a matter of course. Insurers who adapted the template for medicine deleted that exclusion and wrote medical ones instead. Insurers who did not, did not. Reading thirteen carriers' filed documents, that single editorial decision separates the market more sharply than any other term we compared — and it is invisible from a marketing page, a quote or a certificate.

The three failures are not obscure carriers. Each markets to doctors while filing a document that says something else — which is why the marketing page is worthless as evidence of cover.

What the carrier puts in front of doctorsWhat its own filed document saysWhat a buyer can verify
Tata AIG runs a doctors' professional-indemnity page and a separate dentists' product page [2]The Professional Shield wording behind them excludes Bodily Injury outright [1]Nothing — the doctor-specific terms are not published in any document
Tata AIG's SME positioning invites clinics and practices to buyAny entity named as a policyholder is not itself an insured — natural persons only [1]That the entity is outside the cover, from the wording itself
Bajaj publishes a doctors' proposal form and a brochure with a worked premium of ₹1,250 for a pathologist [15]"Loss" excludes financial injury arising out of bodily injury [3], and the wording carries no retroactive date machinery [3]A price, and nothing about the cover it buys
SBI General is widely assumed to sell doctors' indemnityNo such product appears on its filed UIN product list [4]That there is nothing to buy — the one fully verifiable answer in this table
Future Generali's doctors' indemnity is sold through brokersNo wording, prospectus, CIS or UIN exists publicly, and the product is missing from the insurer's own filed-product list [5]Only what a broker chooses to write about it

2. The three that fail on their own documents

Tata AIG is the sharpest case. The wording published behind its doctors' professional-indemnity marketing — "Professional Shield" — excludes Bodily Injury outright, defined as physical injury, sickness, disease or death [1]. This is not an inference from silence: the exclusion is there in the operative text. Tata AIG also runs a dedicated product page for dentists whose own exclusions list states that claims related to third-party bodily injury or property damage are not covered [2] — the peril that constitutes essentially every dental patient claim. The same wording contains a second structural mismatch for anyone buying through a practice: an entity named as a policyholder is not itself an insured, because the policy insures natural persons only [1].

Bajaj reaches the same place by definition rather than exclusion. Its published wording defines "Loss" as financial injury other than that arising out of bodily injury or property damage [3]. Read literally, a policy that indemnifies "Loss" so defined cannot respond to a negligence claim brought by an injured patient. Bajaj is plainly writing doctors — it publishes a doctors' proposal form and a brochure with a worked premium of ₹1,250 for a general pathologist at ₹5 lakh of cover, the only carrier-published doctors' premium example we found anywhere [15] — but the same base wording also lacks any retroactive machinery, requiring both the incident and the claim to fall inside the policy period, even though the doctors' proposal form asks for a retroactive date [3]. Two gaps, both of which imply an endorsement whose text is not public.

SBI General fails the test by not entering it. It has no doctors' professional indemnity product at all, and this is a confirmed absence rather than a failed search — we checked the insurer's own filed UIN product list [4]. Of the three failures this is the most honest, because nothing is being marketed that the paperwork cannot support.

A necessary qualification, and we would rather state it than have it read as a gotcha: it is entirely plausible that Tata AIG and Bajaj write doctors on endorsements that delete these exclusions, and that their insureds are covered in practice. We cannot confirm it, and neither can a doctor at the point of sale. What we can say precisely is this: for these two carriers, the malpractice cover a doctor is buying does not exist in any document available before the transaction. The cover rides entirely on paper the buyer has not seen.

3. The two that cannot be tested at all

Future Generali, now Generali Central, publishes no primary document for its broker-sold doctors' indemnity — no wording, no prospectus, no customer information sheet, no UIN — and the product does not appear on the insurer's own filed-product list [5]. Everything publicly known about it comes from a broker page, including the fact that plastic and cosmetic surgeons are not covered [5]. This is not a gap in our research; it is a finding about the product. A cover whose terms exist nowhere public cannot be compared, cannot be priced against alternatives, and cannot be checked against a claim.

Go Digit is the opposite failure. Its paperwork is complete — but the document is a generic professional-liability policy, not a doctors' wording. Its limits carry no AOA:AOY ratio menu and are set purely by the schedule, so nothing about the shape of the cover can be compared before a quote is issued [6]. On top of that it applies a Participation Percentage coinsurance to every claim above the deductible, and voids cover if the insured buys separate insurance to offset that coinsurance [6]; it restricts the doctor to panel lawyers [6]; and it carries a hammer clause, alongside Bajaj and Tata AIG [3,1,6]. A doctor can read every word Digit publishes and still not know what their own policy would cover.

4. The eight that pass — and how a wording proves it

The evidence that a wording responds to patient injury is not a promise in the sales copy. It is the exclusions, which are drafted by people who know exactly which claims the policy will otherwise pay.

All four public-sector wordings descend from the same 1991 all-India Market Agreement, and the New India, National and Oriental texts are near-verbatim identical [25,7,8,13]. They exclude cosmesis — and then carve burns, trauma reconstruction and scar repair back in at New India, National, ICICI Lombard, IFFCO Tokio and IndusInd, while United India, Oriental and HDFC ERGO exclude cosmetic surgery flat [7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14]. They exclude general anaesthesia administered by a dentist outside a hospital [8,7,10]. Nobody writes a burns-reconstruction carve-back into a policy that does not pay for bodily injury.

ICICI Lombard provides the most explicit confirmation in the market: its excess is applied to death and bodily-injury claims inclusive of defence costs [9]. That clause is only meaningful in a policy that pays such claims. It also indemnifies each named assistant, nurse and technician separately [9]. IFFCO Tokio writes doctors and medical establishments on the same paper, with an extension for staff not professionally qualified to operate the facility and a cross-liabilities clause [10]. IndusInd carries a current doctors' wording with the same medical exclusion set, though it will not insure plastic surgeons at all [27]. HDFC ERGO's Mediserve is the clearest modern example: it excludes opioid and vaping liability, clinical trials, IVF and wrongful-life claims, and anaesthesia not administered by a registered anaesthesiologist [14] — a list that only exists because the policy underneath it pays for harm to patients — and it writes doctors and establishments together on terms of up to three years [14,24].

United India needs one caveat. Its doctors' product is real and its filed customer information sheet is specific enough to set a compulsory excess of 0.50% of the limit, minimum ₹5,000 and maximum ₹1,00,000 [12], with the medical exclusion set including a flat cosmetic exclusion [7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14]. But we read its insuring intent from the CIS and prospectus rather than from the operative wording, because HDFC ERGO's Mediserve is the only doctors' product in this market whose insurer publishes wording, prospectus and CIS together [14,24]. That is a weaker form of proof than the other seven, and we grade it as such.

5. Passing this test is the floor, not the verdict

Eight carriers clear the bar, which means the bar decides only who stays in the comparison. Every one of the eight then loses ground somewhere else. New India will not publish its wording on its own site [7,26]. Oriental's filed wording survives only in the Wayback Machine [13]. ICICI's is old enough to still cite service tax [9]. National states two different compulsory excess rates inside one filed document [8]. IndusInd's customer information sheet tells the insured to give notice of claim on "the Carriers, Port Authorities or other Bailees", which is marine-cargo boilerplate [28]. And Mediserve, the best-documented product in India, accepts no claim reported after the policy expires [14] — a zero-day window against a 90-day market norm [7,8,13,9,10,11].

So this page settles one question and hands you to the others. Compare the reporting windows in the lapse trap, the money you pay before the insurer pays anything in compulsory excess compared, and who can actually be checked at all in the documentation transparency ranking. All eleven terms sit side by side in the master comparison table, and the overall verdict is on the best and worst ranking.

6. What to do with this

  • If you hold Tata AIG or Bajaj cover, ask in writing for the endorsement that brings bodily injury back into the policy, and keep the reply with your schedule [1][3]. A verbal assurance from an intermediary is not a policy term.
  • Never accept a certificate in place of a wording. The certificate proves a policy exists; the wording is what a forum reads when the claim arrives, and the wrong instrument has already cost an Indian hospital a ₹20 lakh indemnity [16].
  • Treat "no published document" as a red flag, not a formality — one carrier in this market publishes nothing at all about the product it sells doctors [5], and only one publishes everything [14,24].
  • Remember what this page is not. It is not a claim-settlement ranking, because no Indian regulator publishes claim data for professional indemnity [20,21,22,23]. It is a test of whether the paper you can read answers the claim you are insuring against — which is the one thing you can verify before you sign.

Frequently asked questions

Does Tata AIG's professional indemnity cover medical malpractice?
Not on the document Tata AIG publishes. The Professional Shield wording behind its doctors' marketing page excludes Bodily Injury — physical injury, sickness, disease or death — outright [1], and the exclusions list on its own dentists' page says third-party bodily injury is not covered [2]. It is entirely possible that a doctor's actual Tata AIG policy is endorsed to delete that exclusion; the point is that no such endorsement is published, so no buyer can check it before paying. If you hold this cover, ask in writing for the endorsement that restores bodily injury and keep the reply. Note too that a clinic or hospital entity is expressly not an insured under that wording [1].
Does Bajaj's professional indemnity policy cover doctors?
Bajaj clearly writes doctors — it publishes a doctors' proposal form and a brochure that prices a general pathologist at ₹1,250 for ₹5 lakh of cover [15]. But its published wording defines "Loss" as financial injury other than that arising out of bodily injury or property damage, so read literally the base policy does not respond to a malpractice claim [3]. The same base wording contains no retroactive machinery — both the incident and the claim must fall inside the policy period — even though the doctors' proposal form asks for a retroactive date [3]. Both gaps imply endorsements whose text is not public.
Does SBI General offer professional indemnity insurance for doctors?
No. There is no doctors' professional indemnity product on SBI General's own filed UIN product list, and we checked that list rather than assuming a search had failed [4]. This one is worth saying out loud because the assumption sends doctors hunting for a policy that does not exist; the alternatives that do exist are ranked in our full best and worst list.
Which doctors indemnity policies definitely cover patient injury?
Eight carriers pass on the face of their own documents: New India, National, Oriental and United India among the public-sector insurers, plus ICICI Lombard, IFFCO Tokio, IndusInd and HDFC ERGO's Mediserve. The proof is structural rather than promotional — these wordings exclude cosmesis while carving burns and trauma reconstruction back in [7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14], exclude dentist-administered general anaesthesia outside a hospital [8,7,10], exclude anaesthesia not given by a registered anaesthesiologist [14], or apply the excess to "death/bodily injury claims" [9]. None of those clauses would be drafted into a policy that did not pay for patient harm.
What is a bodily injury exclusion, and why does it matter in a doctors policy?
Professional indemnity was designed for advisers whose mistakes cost money — accountants, architects, consultants — so the standard errors-and-omissions template excludes bodily injury and property damage and pays only for financial loss. Medicine is the profession where the loss *is* bodily injury. A wording that keeps the generic exclusion, as Tata AIG's does [1], or that defines the peril out of "Loss", as Bajaj's does [3], has kept the template and not adapted it. The Indian doctors' wordings that work are the ones written for medicine from the start — the 1991 Market Agreement lineage the public-sector policies still carry [25,7,8,13] and the 2025-26 Mediserve wording [14].
If an endorsement fixes the exclusion, does any of this matter?
Yes, for two reasons. First, you cannot price or compare a policy on terms you are not allowed to see, and the endorsement arrives after the sale. Second, a claim is decided on the documents, not on what the buyer believed: a Gujarat hospital lost a ₹20 lakh indemnity claim outright because it had bought a legal-liability policy rather than professional indemnity [16], and holding the wrong instrument is one of only three repudiation grounds upheld across the 25 judgments we catalogued [17,18,19,16]. In that catalogue the insurer contested the claim in roughly 22 of 25 cases [17] — a litigated-disputes sample, so it over-represents fights and is not a settlement ratio, but it is a fair guide to how closely the wording will be read when money is at stake.
How do I check my own policy for this in five minutes?
Open the wording, not the certificate, and do three things. Search it for "bodily injury": if the phrase appears in the exclusions without a carve-back for professional services, stop and ask the insurer for the endorsement. Read the definition of "Loss" or "Damages" and check whether it says "other than… bodily injury" [3]. Then read the exclusions list for medical language — cosmesis carve-backs, dentist anaesthesia, blood banks — because a wording with no medical exclusions at all is a generic errors-and-omissions form [1]. If your insurer will not give you the wording, that is itself an answer; only one carrier in this market publishes the full document set [14,24].
Is this a ranking of which insurers pay claims?
No, and no such ranking can honestly be published in India. No regulator reports claim-settlement data for professional indemnity [20,21,22,23], and IRDAI's insurer-wise tables fold liability into an "Other Segments" bucket [21,20]. This page ranks something narrower and more checkable: whether the document the insurer publishes responds to the peril a doctor is buying against. Every other term we compared is in the master comparison table.
