Protect the continuity of medical offices operations.
A continuity plan should look beyond physical repairs. For medical offices, recovery can depend on medical offices operations, people, property, contracts, technology, vehicles, vendors, revenue, and the risks specific to the business, as well as timely access to people, data, equipment, suppliers, utilities, and customers.
Recovery dependencies to map
- Critical people, locations, equipment, utilities, systems, suppliers, and vendors
- Realistic repair, replacement, relocation, and revenue-recovery timelines
- Customer, employee, vendor, and stakeholder communications for the medical offices operation
Values and timelines to test
- Property, equipment, inventory, and income values for the medical offices operation
- Payroll, revenue, locations, vehicles, and other current exposure schedules
- Information supporting medical professional liability from an appropriate specialist market
- Information supporting general liability, property, business income, equipment breakdown, and cyber
- Information supporting workers' compensation, epli, crime, commercial auto, and umbrella where appropriate
Questions to resolve
- Operations or risks not fully disclosed for the medical offices account
- Outdated values, classifications, limits, deductibles, or recovery assumptions
- Contractual requirements or critical dependencies not addressed by the insurance review
Frequently asked questions
Why can the recovery period exceed the repair period?
Permitting, equipment lead time, installation, testing, supplier delays, staffing, customer communication, and the return to normal revenue can continue after physical repairs are complete.
What should medical offices review after a major change?
Locations, operations, values, payroll, vehicles, contracts, vendors, revenue, and controls should be revisited when the business changes materially rather than waiting automatically for renewal.
