Commercial coverage for healthcare organizations

Healthcare Business Insurance

Healthcare organizations face a combination of professional, operational, property, workforce, and data risks. GLG helps medical practices, urgent care and surgery centers, rehabilitation and behavioral health facilities, senior living and group homes, home health and hospice providers, pharmacies, medical staffing companies, medi-spas, hospitals, nursing facilities, and laboratories organize commercial coverage around the services they provide and the people they serve.

Coverage availability, eligibility, and terms vary by carrier and state. A quote request does not bind coverage.

Patient and professional risk

Review professional liability, general liability, and related coverage based on services, staffing, and contracts.

Facilities and equipment

Protect eligible buildings, contents, specialized equipment, and income exposures against covered causes of loss.

People and information

Consider workers’ compensation, employment-related exposures, cyber events, and privacy obligations.

Insurance guidance for a wider range of healthcare organizations

Carrier appetite and policy requirements can vary considerably by services, licensing, staffing, locations, patient or resident population, procedures, and loss history. Explore guidance for your type of healthcare operation.

Commercial insurance for healthcare operations

Healthcare insurance programs are built from multiple policies. The right combination depends on the organization’s services, licenses, locations, patient population, revenue, contracts, and claims history.

  • Professional liability or medical malpractice coverage, when applicable
  • Commercial general liability and umbrella or excess liability
  • Commercial property, equipment breakdown, and business income
  • Workers’ compensation and employment practices liability
  • Cyber liability, privacy-event response, and network security coverage
  • Commercial auto, hired and non-owned auto, or patient transportation coverage

Information carriers may review

Accurate operating details help underwriters understand the risk and determine which markets may be appropriate.

  • Types of medical services and procedures
  • Professional credentials, staffing, and use of independent contractors
  • Annual patient visits, beds, census, or specimen volume
  • Licensing, accreditation, quality controls, and incident reporting
  • Building protection, medical equipment, data systems, and backup procedures
  • Prior coverage, claims history, and requested limits

Coverage that follows the operation

A physician practice, ambulatory surgery center, behavioral health facility, group home, home health agency, pharmacy, medical staffing company, and medi-spa do not present the same exposures. GLG works from the actual operation so coverage discussions can address the organization’s services, property, workforce, technology, resident or patient needs, and contractual responsibilities together.

Coverage availability, eligibility, limits, and terms depend on the organization’s operations, underwriting information, carrier appetite, and state. A complete application and policy review are necessary before coverage can be confirmed.

Common questions

Healthcare Business Insurance FAQ

What types of healthcare organizations can GLG help?

GLG can help a range of healthcare businesses explore coverage, including physician practices, urgent care and surgery centers, rehabilitation and behavioral health facilities, senior living and group homes, home health and hospice providers, pharmacies, medical staffing companies, medi-spas, hospitals, nursing facilities, and laboratories. Eligibility and available markets vary by operation, carrier, and state.

What insurance does a healthcare business need?

Needs vary by operation, but organizations commonly consider professional liability, general liability, property, business income, workers’ compensation, cyber, and umbrella or excess liability. Some services or contracts require additional coverage.

Is healthcare professional liability the same as general liability?

No. Professional liability generally addresses certain claims involving professional services. General liability generally addresses covered third-party bodily injury, property damage, and personal or advertising injury claims.

Can one policy cover every healthcare exposure?

Usually not. Healthcare organizations commonly combine several policies or coverage parts, each with its own definitions, exclusions, limits, and conditions.
