Tail coverage — technically an “extended reporting period endorsement” — extends the reporting window on a claims-made policy after you cancel or non-renew. Any incident that happened during the policy period but is reported after cancellation is covered only if you buy the tail. Standard tail cost runs 175% to 250% of the final year’s premium (Florida trends toward 200% to 275% due to longer statute of limitations exposure).
Retirement, practice sale, and DSO acquisition are the common tail triggers. Bridgeway builds tail cost into every succession planning conversation — call (877) 418-2484 for a walk-through against your specific carrier and state.
