Specialist Healthcare Insurance

Whether you’re running a fertility centre, mobile scanning unit, a MRI scanning centre, physiotherapy practice or any other medical consulting or treatment centre – you will have wide-ranging needs.Whilst it is possible to purchase certain types of insurance via the internet or telephone, how confident can you be that it is right for your needs if the provider has never met you or seen your premises?  This is why it is important to deal with an insurance broker with experience of dealing with the healthcare sector.

We can help

We have a real understanding of the issues your business may face. We aim to visit each client to make sure that we understand your requirements in detail. For your peace of mind, you will be dealing with a company that has experience of dealing with healthcare professionals.

Below is a list (by no means exhaustive) of just some of the covers you may need to protect your practice:

Insurance Types We Cover

Buildings

To insure the buildings against damage such as fire, storm, flood or escape of water.

Computer Equipment

Damage to equipment at and/or away from the premises.

Cyber Insurance

This can cover damage to equipment for example by, computer hacking or denial of service attacks.

Contents and Stock

High tech medical equipment can be very expensive and critical to the smooth running of your business – it is vital to ensure that your equipment is correctly insured so that it can be quickly repaired or replaced in the event of a claim.

Glass

To cover damage to fixed glass and sanitary fittings.

Money

To cover theft of money from the premises, in transit or the home of an authorised person.

Business Interruption

A major incident such as a fire or flood can not only damage your premises and equipment but it also can have a long term impact on your income. Your patients or clients might be forced to change to another provider leading to an immediate loss of income and what if they never transfer back to you? You might also incur significant costs in finding and setting up a temporary alternative premise. Correctly arranged business interruption insurance can help to prevent a loss of income.

Cyber Insurance

To cover loss of income following a data breach, denial of access or cyber attack.

Employee Dishonesty

Handling cash or valuable stock can result in theft by employees. This insurance will cover such events.

Legal Expenses

To provide legal advice and costs of pursuing or defending certain actions such as employment, contractual or property disputes.

Directors’ & Officers’ Liability

To protect the personal assets of a director or senior employee following an allegation that they committed a wrongful act during the course of employment e.g. Health & Safety at Work, employment dispute or financial matters.

Employers’ Liability

To cover legal defence costs and awards made against you arising from your liability at law for injury to your employees.  This is compulsory.

Employment Practices Liability

Usually added to Directors’ & Officers’ Liability insurance, this protects the business in the event of an alleged wrongful employment act.

Medical Malpractice

A practitioner’s personal medical defence cover MAY NOT protect the company if a patient or a member of his or her family were to pursue it for compensation for harm allegedly caused.  Even spurious or malicious allegations need to be defended.

With claims capable of quickly escalating to tens of thousands of pounds, it is vital that your dental surgery insurance policy covers you adequately for the risks that you face every day.

Public Liability

Public liability insurance protects you against claims brought by patients or visitors who declare that they were hurt or suffered a loss of property on your premises, for example if a patient slips on damp floors or trips over trailing cables.

Product Liability

To cover legal defence costs and awards made against you arising from liability at law for injury to others or damage to their property arising out of products or services supplied by you.

Business Travel

If you have staff travelling abroad on business, it’s important to provide them with cover for medical expenses, cancellation costs, money, lost passport, replacement employee expenses.

Personal Accident

To provide a lump sum payment and/or regular weekly payments following permanent or temporary disablement as a result of an accident e.g. loss of an eye or a broken leg.
