What types of insurance do ophthalmologists need?
These policies provide coverage for the most common risks of ophthalmology.

A BOP bundles commercial property and general liability insurance under one plan. It's often one of the most cost-effective types of commercial insurance for ophthalmologists.
BEST FOR
- Slip-and-fall accidents
- Damaged patient property
- Damaged business property
General liability insurance
This policy covers common ophthalmology risks, such as a patient falling after a dilated eye exam. Bundle with property insurance in a business owner’s policy for savings.

Professional liability insurance
This policy, also called malpractice insurance, covers the cost of lawsuits based on an error by an ophthalmologist, such as misdiagnosis of an eye disease.
BEST FOR
- Wrong diagnosis
- Accusations of negligence
- Mistakes or oversights
Workers’ compensation insurance
Workers’ compensation insurance is required in almost every state for ophthalmology businesses that have employees. It can cover medical costs for work-related injuries.
BEST FOR

- Partial missed wages
- Lawsuits over employee injuries
Cyber liability insurance
This policy helps ophthalmology clinics survive data breaches and cyberattacks. It can often be added to a business owner's policy or general liability policy at a discount.
BEST FOR

- Data breach lawsuits
- Fraud monitoring costs
