There are many kinds of healthcare providers, and even though there are differences in medical services provided, the foundation for insurance protection is similar. Professional Liability, sometimes called malpractice insurance, is a must, as is general liability insurance. There are some different options that can be included to tailor an insurance program for a specific type of practitioner, and Nelson & Ward Company has experience doing that for:
Sleep centersIf you own your own practice, you may need special insurance for expensive, high tech medical equipment. On the other hand, you may have liability insurance protection provided by your employer. It's important to note, in that case, that insurance carried by an employer is meant to protect the employer first, and the individual health care practitioner second. It would be wise to consider supplemental coverage for yourself.
In addition to the appropriate coverage limits and cost of insurance premium, other important considerations in a tailored health care provider insurance program include insurance protection for miscellaneous health care facilities (labs or allied health care providers, e.g.) and coverage for legal services related to state licensing board investigations.
Here at Nelson & Ward Company our insurance specialists can help you wade through the options you need to protect your unique health care service operation. Nelson & Ward Company maintains relationships with many top rated insurance companies with specialized products and experience working with healthcare providers, so we have a range of options to choose from.
