Why Senior Care Insurance Matters

Protect your practice from malpractice and liability claims

Healthcare providers face unique liability exposure from professional services, patient interactions, and regulatory compliance. The right insurance protects your practice from claims that could devastate your finances and reputation.

Most healthcare practices need Professional Liability (malpractice), General Liability for premises claims, and Workers' Compensation for staff. Business interruption coverage protects income if you're forced to close.

Whether you run a solo practice or multi-provider office, proper insurance is essential for protecting your career and your patients. Many states require proof of malpractice coverage for licensing.
