PreferredOne Insurance question

2-19-19

This past year we billed flu shots to PreferredOne and they are coming back to us patient responsibility due to our clinic being ‘out of network’.  To become associated with them, they want us to fill out a preapp (attached) and under their criteria for contract it says that the nurse providers are required to maintain professional liability (malpractice) insurance. 

                Is this insurance something other counties carry on their public health nurses?  Are other counties contracted with PreferredOne?

                Any insight to what others are doing would be appreciated.  Thanks!
