Common questions about healthcare facilities liability insurance
Are healthcare facilities required to offer malpractice insurance?
Healthcare facilities aren't mandated to offer or provide medical malpractice insurance, sometimes called medical professional liability insurance, for their physicians or staff members. However, depending on state laws, most facilities often have insurance requirements that physicians and certain staff members must meet in order to work at the facility.
Additionally, it can also be beneficial for healthcare facilities to carry malpractice insurance. Should a patient claim your facility as secondary in their malpractice lawsuit, you could face indirect liability and be held responsible for the medical service of all healthcare professionals working on behalf of your organization.
Having the proper medical liability coverage could protect your healthcare facility from exposure to direct and indirect liability.
What other types of insurance should healthcare facilities carry?
There are several additional insurance policies for medical businesses to safeguard you and your facility from common risks and the resulting financial losses.
- Fidelity bonds, a type of commercial crime insurance, would cover the cost of reimbursing patients should and employee commit fraud or theft under your business name. It's important to note that your business would have to repay the bond company for the cost of the reimbursement.
- Surety bonds act as financial guarantee that your healthcare facility will operate lawfully under all state laws and federal regulations. Depending on where your center is located, a surety bond might be required before your business can begin operations.
- Business income insurance, sometimes called business interruption insurance, covers financial losses if your business is forced to close temporarily due to a fire or extreme weather. It can often be added to a business owner's policy.
- Commercial umbrella insurance covers legal expenses when the limit is reached on another liability policy, such as general liability, commercial auto insurance, or employers liability insurance.
- Equipment breakdown coverage is a form of commercial insurance that provides funds to repair or replace damaged machinery or equipment that's suffered a mechanical or electrical failure.
