Healthcare provider
Patient injury and patient data are the two exposures that define the programme; practitioners often hold their own indemnity, which has to be reconciled with the entity's.
Lines this class usually carries
7 linesA schedule in this class that does not show one of these raises the finding "usually held in healthcare provider, not on this schedule". Absence is a question, not a fault: the cover may sit inside another policy or have been declined on purpose.
- Medical malpractice
Your legal liability for injury to a patient arising from clinical care, treatment or advice given by you or your staff. - Public liability
Your legal liability to third parties for injury or property damage arising from your premises and operations, and in the AU and UK combined form for the products you sell. - Cyber
Your own costs after a security incident (forensics, notification, restoration, business interruption from a network outage, extortion) and your liability to others for the data and systems you failed to protect. - Property
Physical loss of or damage to your buildings, plant, stock and contents from fire, storm, water, impact, theft and the other insured perils, up to the sum insured. - Workers compensation (statutory)
Medical costs, weekly payments and lump sums for employees injured at work or made ill by it, under the scheme of the state or country where they are employed. - Directors and officers
Defence costs and damages when directors, officers and (under management liability) the company itself are pursued for a wrongful act in managing the business: regulators, shareholders, creditors, employees. - Employment practices liability
Defence costs and damages for claims by employees and applicants: unfair or wrongful dismissal, discrimination, harassment, bullying, breach of employment contract.
Lines it often needs and often lacks
6 linesRaises the finding "often needed in healthcare provider and often lacking, not on this schedule". Worth a written answer either way, so a retained exposure is a recorded decision.
- Business interruption
The gross profit or revenue you lose, and the extra cost of keeping the business going, while property damage stops or slows you, for the indemnity period the policy states. - Crime and fidelity
Direct financial loss from dishonesty by employees, and on the wider forms from third-party fraud: forged cheques, funds transfer fraud, computer fraud and social engineering. - Clinical trials liability
Compensation to trial participants for injury arising from a clinical trial you sponsor or run, in the form the ethics committee and the jurisdiction require. - Statutory liability (fines and penalties)
Defence costs and, where the law allows them to be insured, fines and penalties for unintentional breaches of statute: workplace safety, environmental, consumer and corporations law. - Machinery breakdown
Sudden and unforeseen mechanical or electrical failure of plant and machinery, the repair or replacement cost, and where extended the profit lost while it is down. - Electronic equipment
Breakdown and damage to computers, servers, control systems and other electronic equipment, with the cost of restoring data and the extra cost of working while it is down.
Cyber is its own finding here
Yes. Businesses in this class usually hold cyber cover and their customers, regulators and lenders usually ask for the certificate, so the register raises a separate finding with the underwriting baseline behind it.
