Medical Malpractice

Operating a business in the medical field can be complex and challenging. Claims  against medical centres, clinics and day surgeries can happen no matter how high the level of care.

We understand the unique risks faced by healthcare establishments and have designed a medical malpractice insurance policy that’s ideal.

Product features and coverage include:

  • civil liability cover for claims arising out of the healthcare services you provide, such as liability under consumer protection legislation, libel and slander, infringement of intellectual property and breaches of any duty of confidentiality owed to a patient
  • vicarious liability for the acts, errors or omissions of medical practitioners and locum tenens (excluding individual medical malpractice liability)
  • cover for claims arising from employee and principal dishonesty and Medicare benefits fraud
  • statutory liability cover for defence costs for proceedings brought under OH&S or environmental law and, to the extent permitted by law, fines imposed under OH&S or environmental law as well as other compensatory civil penalties
  • public relations expenses to prevent or limit the adverse effects of negative publicity
  • compensation for court attendance
  • up to two hours of free legal consultation
  • molestation defence costs and inquiry costs
  • an extended 60-day period for reporting claims after the expiry of the policy period
  • automatic 30-day cover for new subsidiaries, and
  • cover for students, volunteers, committee members and council members.
