Surgery Center Insurance

Finally, with the healthcare mergers and acquisitions that are taking the industry by a storm, Directors and Officers Insurance is in place to defend against claims of business, asset or contract mismanagement or waste. A Directors and Officers policy can help you defend against claims made during or after the sales transaction, upholding your integrity and safeguarding your assets. Finally, an Employment Practices Liability policy defends the ownership group against allegations of wrongful termination or discrimination, sexual harassment or wage and hourly disputes. If a physician feels locked out of your center, these policies can protect the directors and officers.

Surgery Centers, of course need to present their certificates, licenses; accreditations, bylaws and transfer agreements. From there we will take the representation of your practice profile, loss experience and number of procedures and we at The Doctors Insurance Agency will shop the nation's best carriers to work for you.

When a surgeon or a surgical group has a surgery suite or surgical center that is used only by them; there is no additional exposure and the surgery suite/center is covered under the solo or group policy of the physician(s). The surgery suite/center would be part of the office premises. If it is at a second location, you would want to be sure that the location is insured as a secondary address. Once; however, the surgical suite/center is opened to outside physicians; you have increased your potential liability. Now, when that other physician has a claim, the claimant could potentially also name the surgical suite/center in which the surgery was performed. To the patient, this is another entity on which to lay a claim. Without a separate set of limits, as provided by the Surgery Center Liability Insurance Policy, your personal physician’s limits of liability could be depleted by claims that were not made against you but against your surgical suite/center. Therefore, The Doctors’ Company requires a separate Surgery Center policy when a surgical suite/center is being used by outside physicians.

The Surgery Center Liability Insurance Policy provides a separate set of limits for the center and is written in the name of the Surgery Center, which includes all agents, employees, proprietors, owners, directors, officers or partners while acting within the scope of their surgery center duties. It also provides coverage for Additional Named Insured’s and Additional Insured’s that the Surgery Center employs.
