In the ever-evolving healthcare landscape, it’s not always “business as usual”, so having the right property and casualty insurance is essential.
Prepare your practice for the unexpected with tailored commercial medical insurance plans, leveraging our expertise to ensure comprehensive protection.
Commercial Insurance for Health Care Organizations
Who we provide cover for
There are times to refer to a specialist. The same holds true in insurance.
We specialize in customizing commercial insurance solutions for a wide range of healthcare providers and organizations, including:
- Physicians and medical practices
- Health services and health maintenance organizations
- Group practices and individual providers
- Clinics and healthcare facilities
- Medical professionals requiring business operations coverage
What commercial medical insurance covers
We design customized commercial insurance plans to protect the operational aspects of your practice.
- Coverage is tailored based on various factors, including:
- Location of the business/practice
- Ownership status of buildings (leased or owned)
- Clinical activities at each location
- Number of employees
- Annual payroll
- Handling of confidential client data
- Involvement in emerging medical technologies
We’ll help you secure policies that provide comprehensive coverage for property, liability, and more, ensuring your practice is well-protected against evolving challenges.
How much does commercial insurance cost?
Premiums vary based on several factors, most of which are outlined above. We’re committed to putting your needs first and helping you manage costs proactively.
Business Office/Practice Policy
Protecting and keeping your business operating smoothly is critical to your success. We can guide you on a range of options to manage risk in the face of unexpected circumstances that may arise frequently in the healthcare industry.
Workers' Compensation
When a team member is injured, the whole operation is impacted. Make sure your practice has the proper insurance coverage to support your staff if they are injured on the job. Workers Compensation Insurance regulations vary by state but should generally be a component of your insurance program to ensure compliance and protection for your employees.
Business auto
Does your practice own or lease vehicles? Do your employees use personal vehicles for work purposes, even occasionally? Does a partner rent a vehicle while at a work conference? Automobiles associated with a business in any of those ways require special coverages that we can support you with.
Umbrella
Sometimes you need more than just a raincoat when the rain comes. An umbrella can protect you against the unexpected. An umbrella policy, as the name suggests, ‘sits over’ your other coverages to provide additional protection. It extends your existing coverage limits, offering an extra layer of security for your practice.
Cyber Liability
Cyber threats are growing, yet many practices lack sufficient insurance coverage to manage recovery costs. Hackers are now the primary source of data breaches, costing over $200 per patient record, with total expenses often exceeding $100,000 for small offices within the first 90 days. As the frequency and severity of cyber incidents rise annually, it’s crucial to protect your practice.
Management Liability Insurance
Allegations against your staff can jeopardize your business, so it’s crucial to make sure your team and their roles are adequately insured. Management liability insurance covers a wide range of exposures, safeguarding your practice from unforeseen allegations.
Medical Technology, Life Sciences/Products and Clinical Trials Liability
Healthcare expertise extends far beyond the exam room. We’ll guide you to the coverage needed for advancing technology, research, and solutions. Whether your medical activity involves biotechnology, med-tech research, or clinical trials, we can help you secure tailored, industry-specific coverage.
