Why this coverage matters for medical offices
Medical-office insurance should distinguish clinical professional liability from premises, property, employment, cyber, equipment, and business-income exposures. Services, providers, credentials, patient information, and locations should be described accurately. Commercial property coverage can help a business recover when physical assets are damaged by a covered event. Values, causes of loss, deductibles, and recovery time should be evaluated together.
