Malpractice Insurance/Professional Liability

If you render professional advice or consult for a living, you may need professional liability insurance. Also commonly known as “errors and omissions” (E&O), this coverage can help with the costs of a legal claim filed due to an error or negligence.

Abuse and Sexual Misconduct Insurance

Sexual misconduct insurance protects against the financial risks of sexual abuse or misconduct. Should an employee of your practice be named in a lawsuit for these reasons, this coverage can help with legal defense costs, settlements and judgments.

High-Valued Equipment

Designed to protect high-value devices and machinery, high-value equipment insurance can help cover the cost of repairing or replacing your medical equipment if it’s damaged, lost, stolen or destroyed.

Privacy and Data Recovery (Cyber Risk)

Also known as “electronic data recovery insurance,” privacy and data recovery coverage can help with the costs of recovering from a data breach or loss. Whether your office computer’s hard drive stops working or your practice falls victim to a phishing attack, privacy and data recovery coverage can help pay to get your data back.

Loss of Income

Business income insurance is an essential protection for all businesses. This insurance helps cover operating costs throughout the recovery period following a covered claim. In addition to lost income, this insurance can pay for rental of temporary office space and other costs associated with a business interruption.

Mobile Equipment

Mobile equipment coverage can help with the cost of repairing or replacing mobile medical equipment if it’s lost, damaged or stolen.

 

Directors and Officers (D&O)

Ranking alongside business income insurance as one of the most essential protections a business can carry, D&O can cover the financial risks involved with serving as a director or officer of an organization. Designed to mitigate the costs of a lawsuit, directors and officers insurance can help with legal fees, settlements and judgments.

Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI)

EPLI coverage can help with the costs of employee lawsuits filed for a broad spectrum of labor and employment practices, including:

  • Discrimination
  • Sexual Harassment
  • Breach of Employment Contract
  • Wrongful Discipline
  • Infliction of Emotional Distress
  • Wrongful Termination

While some business owners’ policies offer endorsements tailored to this risk, it’s often wiser to carry a standalone EPLI policy to cover your bases.

Medicine and Vaccine Spoilage Coverage

This specialty health care coverage helps with the costs resulting from medicine and vaccine spoilage. From a power outage taking out your refrigeration to inventory outlasting its shelf life, medicine and vaccine spoilage insurance can help pay to replace your spoiled products.

Health Care Risk Management

Managing risk is a moving target because your environment changes from patient to patient. With effective patient care practices and operational procedures developed by our health care risk specialists, we can help you reduce treatment errors, improve staff safety and stay on top of legislation regarding OSHA, HIPAA, HITECH and other health care industry regulations.
