Start with how the business operates
Medical-office insurance should distinguish clinical professional liability from premises, property, employment, cyber, equipment, and business-income exposures. Services, providers, credentials, patient information, and locations should be described accurately.
Industry risks to discuss
- Patient-care allegations and professional liability
- Protected information, ransomware, privacy events, and network interruption
- Employee injury, employment practices, property, equipment, refrigeration, and office closure
Coverage priorities
- Medical professional liability from an appropriate specialist market
- General liability, property, business income, equipment breakdown, and cyber
- Workers' compensation, EPLI, crime, commercial auto, and umbrella where appropriate
Build Risk Controls Around the Operation
- Prioritize controls for severe losses as well as frequent incidents
- Assign responsibility for inspections, training, maintenance, and corrective action
- Keep written procedures and records that demonstrate controls are active
- Revisit controls when locations, equipment, staffing, or services change
