Industry-Leading Coverage
Professional Liability Insurance
Coverage specific to the needs of APCs from an insurer and its subsidiaries led by healthcare professionals and protecting APCs nationwide, rated A by AM Best. Coverage limits of $1M/$3M, with additional limit options available in most states, including $1.3/$3.9M +$1M excess in New York.
Regulatory and License Insurance
MediGuard® regulatory risk coverage, part of your medical malpractice insurance policy, covers you for regulatory and license actions up to $25,000.
Occurrence and Claims-Made Policies
Both occurrence and claims-made policies are available for all specialties, except for CNMs/CMs under specific circumstances.* For claims-made policies, free extended reporting period coverage, also known as tail coverage, is included at full retirement from a healthcare practice or in the event of permanent disability or death.
General Liability Insurance
Add-on coverage that protects a business against liability to others resulting from bodily injury, property damage, or personal injury. General liability insurance does not cover liability resulting from professional services, employment practices, or workers’ compensation injuries.
Vicarious Liability Insurance
If you own your own practice and have employees, independent contractors, or others acting on your behalf, you should consider purchasing vicarious liability coverage because you could be held responsible for their acts or omissions. This is an endorsement added to your policy.
Additional Business Owner’s Coverage
Commercial property (owned and rented), business and cyber liability, workers’ compensation, employment practices liability insurance (EPLI), and life, health, and disability insurance policies are also available for independent practices. Please contact us at (800) 780-9975 for more information.
Coverage Types Available for Your Specific Needs

Excess
If you want to rely on your primary policy as your first line of defense against a claim, but you’d like to purchase additional coverage to avoid paying out-of-pocket expenses after your primary policy limits are exhausted.
