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.
