It really just depends on the relationship with the hospital. Many Hospitals in the U.S. provide blanket malpractice insurance coverage for hospital residents and staff.
Yes, physicians must have privileges at a hospital in order to participate in an insurance. If they do not have those privileges, the insurance company will not pay for care.

The answer to this question depends, in part, upon the licensing laws of the State in which the profession is practiced. Likewise, it depends upon where the profession is practiced in the sense of an institution or company. For example, a medical doctor who practices within a group of other doctors may carry his/her own medical malpractice insurance, the group as a whole may have it as well, and even the hospital in which the doctor practices may have it that covers not only the hospital but the physicians that practice within it.
It depends on your insurance.... If you don't have insurance.... then it's a lot
Try the emergency room at the hospital.
An Emergency medicine in private practice is typically a member of a group that has a contract with a hospital or group of hospitals to provide emergency care in the Emergency department. This is in contrast with those physicians who are employees of the hospital or are members of an academic/teaching practice.
Emergency dept. physicians do not admit patients to the hospital. The primary care physician (PCP) must be contacted to complete the process.

Yes. While an emergency room can not refuse to treat anyone, a hospital is not obliged to provide non emergency surgery.
In Florida, the amount of malpractice insurance a doctor must carry varies by specialty and whether they are practicing in a hospital setting or independently. For example, certain specialties may require higher coverage limits, often around $250,000 per claim and $750,000 annually for general practitioners, while some high-risk specialties may need $1 million per claim and $3 million annually. Additionally, Florida law mandates that physicians must notify patients of their malpractice insurance coverage status. It’s advisable for doctors to consult with their professional liability insurance providers for specific requirements based on their practice.
