| Features and Benefits
The Neurologists' Program is a medical malpractice insurance program unlike any other: it is designed specifically to meet the needs of neurologists. TNP is the only medical malpractice insurance program endorsed by the American Academy of Neurology (AAN). From the policy itself to the risk management advice and guidance we provide, TNP has one focus - neurology.

- for retirement (at age 55 or older) after five years continuous claims-made coverage with TNP (subject to underwriting)
- for permanent disability at any age or death
- Policies issued require the insured's consent to settle - no "hammer clause"
- Vicarious liability and supervision of other professionals
- Professional premises liability

- Professional services as a medical director
- Publication of articles or books and broadcasting or telecasting activities directly relating to neurologic practice (when less than 20% of income is derived from such activities)
