You wouldn't typically be suing an insurance company for medical malpractice. Doctors provide health care, and insurance companies provide health insurance. That being said, you may have claims for unfair or deceptive settlement practices. I'm not sure I understand your question, but I don't see any reason why you wouldn't be ablt to select similar coverage by the same insurer.
