What Type of Coverage Form do You Offer?

Professional and General Liability policies are written on an Occurrence basis. An occurrence liability policy provides insurance coverage for an injury or damage that occurs during the policy period, regardless when the claim is reported. In the event, that the policy is not renewed, there is no additional tail coverage required to pickup prior claims. Also, the premiums will typically not vary year by year, when no changes have occurred. Unlike a claims made form, where premiums will increase over a five year period, in addition to the added cost to purchase tail coverage in the event your coverage lapses.

Is There Coverage to Protect Me if Someone Files a Complaint Against Me?

Yes. The Professional policy provides Administrative Defense Expense and HIPAA Notification Costs for $25,000/$50,000 of coverage which reimburses for any fines or penalties and any claims of expense you incur.

“When a small outpatient rehabilitation facility grew to include a residential treatment facility, their risk exposure did too, as did their insurance premium.

SterlingRisk worked closely with our client to reduce their risk exposure, counseling them on both their hiring and management practices, including security. We implemented a national background check program on all employees who came into contact with the residents, created proper documentation procedures for all incidents and potential claims, as well as supervisory controls and proper client-counselor reporting forms that followed confidentiality laws. Putting all of these controls into place helped the insured become certified by JCAHO, resulting in money-saving credits on their insurance policy and earning them a designation as a “premier” prospect, which enabled us to access additional cost-effective programs not available to 'new ventures.'”
