Miscellaneous medical professional liability
Protection for outpatient medical facilities
The healthcare sector is experiencing drastic change, with a shift away from inpatient care to help control related treatment costs. As a result, the number of outpatient facilities providing medical services, from adult care, home health, and imaging to pharmacy, laboratory, and rehabilitation, is growing rapidly. However, this growth also comes with increased risk.
As facilities and their employees provide services, there are times when delivery may not go as planned — or is alleged to have not gone as planned. A single lawsuit could be financially devastating for the facility and affect its ability to operate.
Our miscellaneous medical professional liability solutions help protect facilities against legal, financial, and reputational risk arising from the services they provide.

Federally qualified health center liability “gap” coverage
Federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) receive grants under the Health Center Program (Section 330 of the Public Health Service Act) and are afforded protection under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) for liability arising out of their alleged acts or omissions related to medical malpractice.
Because FQHCs typically engage in activities and provide services outside the Federal Section 330 scope, they often need “gap” or “wrap-around” coverage for those exposures, as well as for medical providers who do not qualify for protection under the FTCA. Our professional liability/general liability “wrap-around” solution for FQHCs helps address the potential gaps in coverage.
