Financial responsibility of a health care provider may be established only by filing with the director proof that the health care provider is insured pursuant to sections 44-2837 to 44-2839 or by a policy of professional liability insurance in a company authorized to do business in Nebraska. Such insurance shall be in the amount of two hundred thousand dollars per occurrence and, in cases involving physicians or nurse anesthetists, but not with respect to hospitals, an aggregate liability of at least six hundred thousand dollars for all occurrences or claims made in any policy year shall be provided. In the case of hospitals and their employees, an aggregate liability amount of one million dollars for all occurrences or claims made in any policy year shall be provided. Such filing shall state the amount of the premium charged for the policy of insurance.
