Like a Plastic Surgery Group that insures it’s surgery center as part of the medical malpractice policy, The Doctors Company can offer specialized dialysis liability coverage when the only patients who use the Dialysis Center come from the patients in the group that we insure. Dialysis centers serve a critical need to their community and their patients. And, the business can represent a nice diversification for a physician’s practice. Owning a dialysis center may be profitable, but it’s also a very big responsibility. The Doctors’ Insurance Agency can help you keep track of the center by working with professional patient safety specialists to help you manage the risk. Talk with us about our Dialysis Center Liability programs and solutions.
If we insure all of the physicians in a Nephrology Group, and they refer patients to their own centers, then The Doctors Company will extend medical malpractice insurance to the Center without adding any additional premium, or limits (no additional aggregate, no General Liability). But you will have $1 Million/$3 Million in limits of liability (or higher if the physicians carry higher limits) sharing professional liability insurance with the physicians.
For ‘Stand alone’ Dialysis Centers, The Doctors’ Insurance Agency works with World Wide Facilities to help us approach the right carrier for the size of your Center.
