Healthcare
Insurance and risk support for healthcare practices and facilities.
Caring for Patients Comes With Business Risk Too
Healthcare organizations manage people, property, technology, sensitive information, specialized equipment, and professional services every day.
The risks vary considerably between a physician practice, specialty clinic, rehabilitation center, imaging facility, dental office, or outpatient facility, but each operation depends on many of those pieces working together.
DiNicola Insurance Services helps healthcare organizations understand those exposures and build insurance and risk-management programs around the way the practice or facility actually operates.
Healthcare Comes in Many Forms
The insurance program should reflect the services provided, patient population, staff, equipment, technology, locations, and professional responsibilities of the organization.
Medical Practices
Physician offices and group practices may combine professional liability, property, employment, cyber, and general business exposures.
Dental Practices
Dental offices may rely on specialized equipment, professional services, patient information, employees, and technology within a single practice.
Specialty & Outpatient Clinics
Specialty care, occupational health, urgent care, and outpatient operations may have exposures shaped by the services they provide.
Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation
Patient interaction, treatment services, employees, equipment, and facility operations create a combination of professional and business risks.
Diagnostic & Imaging Centers
Expensive equipment, professional services, patient data, technology, and business interruption can all be important considerations.
Ambulatory & Surgical Facilities
Outpatient facilities may have more complex professional, property, equipment, staffing, regulatory, and operational exposures.
Start With the Business. Then Address the Professional Risk.
Healthcare organizations still need the core coverages that protect any business, with additional protection considered for professional services, patient information, specialized equipment, and employment-related exposures.
General Liability
Helps address certain third-party bodily injury, property damage, and related liability claims arising from covered premises and business operations.
Commercial Property
May protect office contents, furnishings, medical equipment, improvements, technology, and other covered physical assets at insured locations.
Workers' Compensation
Addresses employee injury exposures that can arise from lifting, repetitive work, slips and falls, patient handling, and other workplace activities.
Business Income
May help replace lost income and certain continuing expenses when a covered loss interrupts practice or facility operations.
Professional Liability
Designed to address certain claims arising from professional services, treatment, advice, or alleged errors and omissions, subject to the policy and profession involved.
Cyber Liability
Depending on the policy, cyber coverage may help with certain privacy incidents, data breaches, forensic costs, notification, restoration, regulatory response, and network-related losses.
Employment Practices Liability
May address certain claims alleging discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination, and other covered employment-related acts.
Equipment Breakdown
Practices that depend on diagnostic, treatment, refrigeration, electrical, or other specialized equipment may need protection for certain mechanical or electrical breakdown losses.
Some Healthcare Organizations Need Additional Protection
Depending on the operation, additional insurance may be appropriate for management liability, specialized equipment, medical waste or pollution exposures, hired and non-owned auto, regulatory-response exposures, or other risks unique to the facility and services provided.
Healthcare Risk Extends Beyond Patient Care
A healthcare organization is also an employer, property occupant, technology user, data custodian, and business. Those operational responsibilities can create exposures alongside the professional services being provided.
Managing risk means looking at the whole organization, not only the clinical side of the practice.
- Employee safety and workplace procedures.
- Privacy, cybersecurity, and patient information.
- Equipment maintenance and business continuity.
- Incident reporting and claims procedures.
- Employment practices and staff management.
- Vendor and technology relationships.
