As a healthcare professional, do you ever use your skills and knowledge in settings that do not involve direct patient care? More and more often, healthcare providers are participating in educational and consulting activities in addition to - or instead of - direct patient care. Some of these activities could include:
- Medical administration
- Training
- Legal consultation
- Speaking at seminars
- Teaching or acting as an expert witness
However, did you know these activities may not be covered under your current Professional Liability insurance policy?
Like hands-on patient care, these consulting services activities carry unique legal risks. Even providing information or advice to a large number of patients or caregivers may be increasing your exposure to the risk of a lawsuit.
Add the Consulting Services Liability Endorsement to your professional liability policy for
only $25 a year*. Coverage will be available for lawsuits resulting from advice, testimony or consulting you provide as a licensed medical professional. (If you are managing a patient's total care; developing, assessing and coordination treatment plans; or conducting utilization review,
contact us today for information on our Case Management endorsement)
This coverage is available to you whether you are full-time, part-time, employed or self-employed.
Complete your Protection Today for Just $25 a Year*.
*IMPORTANT - To add this coverage after your professional liability insurance policy effective date, you will be required to pay only a portion of the full premium of $25.00. Please
contact us, and a licensed representative will calculate the premium amount due based on your policy effective date and the date that you add this new coverage to your policy. Then, simply download the request form and return it to HPSO within 30 days of your request, along with your payment of the premium due.
Please note: This additional coverage is not available to healthcare aides, technicians or technologists.
