Yes, in many countries and regions, it is a legal requirement for practicing healthcare professionals. It is also often required by licensing boards or professional associations.
Medical Indemnity covers claims arising from medical practice, whereas General Liability covers non-medical third-party injury or property damage (e.g., a patient slipping in your clinic).
Claims-Made: Only covers claims filed while the policy is active.
Occurrence-Based: Covers incidents that occurred during the policy period, regardless of when the claim is made.
We offer both types, depending on your needs.
That depends on your specialty, location, patient volume, and risk exposure. Our advisors will assess your practice and recommend appropriate coverage limits.
