Incision will provide your Private Clinic with indemnity cover which will offer protection if a patient makes a claim against your organisation or employees who provided their care.
As a medical provider, delivering quality care is your top priority. But even the best providers can make mistakes – and those mistakes can have devastating consequences. That’s why it’s so important to have medical malpractice insurance.
Private clinic insurance policies are designed to protect medical entities from vicarious liability. That means if one of your employees makes a mistake that leads to patient injury or death, your organisation could be held responsible in a court of law.
With private clinic insurance in place, you can rest assured that you’re protected against the potentially ruinous costs of vicarious liability claims. Contact us today to get started.
We work with all private healthcare providers, including but not limited to:
