For physicians

Our program is healthier

Our Deluxe Professional Office Program for Physicians gives you a stronger dosage of insurance protection than programs offered by many other companies. Our package includes the special coverages you need for your business, plus you can add plenty of optional coverages and related life insurance protection. The result is a unique business owners package that is very good for your practice.

If you’d like to learn more about this special program, contact an agent in your area. Or, get in touch with our office nearest you.

With our physicians’ program, we give you exceptional built-in features, such as:

  • Business property off premises All your medical and office equipment and supplies and other business personal property is covered while it is in transport to and from your office, at home or at other locations away from your premises.
  • Replacement cost coverage for property of others If property in your care is damaged or destroyed in your office, you’re insured at replacement cost rather than actual cash value. The coverage pays, regardless of fault, up to your business personal property limit and applies to anything from equipment you lease to personal possessions of employees and patients.
  • Hired and non-owned auto coverage As an employer, you can be held liable if one of your full- or part-time employees is negligent while driving his or her vehicle on your behalf-whether driving a patient home, transporting records from office to hospital, making a bank deposit, or merely going out for sandwiches. Normally you must buy separate coverage for this exposure, but we include it.
  • Off-premises utility coverage If power failure temporarily knocks you out of business, most insurance programs don’t assist you. Ours pays for loss of income and extra expenses you incur after the first 12 hours following the loss.
  • Stock spoilage coverage If you refrigerate injectables, diagnostic kits or blood and other lab specimens and they become unusable due to mechanical breakdown or interruption of electrical power, you’re covered up to the business property limit of your policy.
  • Fire legal liability coverage We have broadened this important coverage to insure damage from most causes of loss-including water damage and explosion. You’re protected, for example, if your water heater ruptures and a building you rent or someone else’s office gets soaked.

Our Deluxe Physicians Program also includes these important all-around business coverages:

  • Business income and extra expense coverage for up to 12 consecutive months following a loss.
  • Money and securities for funds that are stolen or destroyed while on or off your premises.
  • Accounts receivable coverage for money you are unable to collect because these records are destroyed.
  • Valuable papers and records coverage to restore or replace these documents.
  • Sewer/drain backup coverage for damage caused by backed-up sewers or drains.
  • Glass coverage for damage to exterior or interior glass.
  • Outdoor signs
  • Statues, marble, porcelains and other fragile articles

Of course, our Deluxe Professional Office Program for Physicians also provides all the fundamental property and general liability coverages found in standard commercial policies to protect your building, contents, premises and operations, plus many other tried-and-true coverages to guard your business against financial loss.

Optional coverages for your practice

We offer over 35 options to help you customize your physicians program, including:

  • Systems breakdown For heating, air conditioning and electrical systems used to maintain your business.
  • CompuPak® Comprehensive coverage to insure your information processing systems against mechanical breakdown, electrical or magnetic erasure of tapes, sabotage and many other types of loss. Covers both your hardware and software.
  • Group coverages Group term life and short-term or long-term disability coverage is available to protect—and help you retain—your employees. The cost is surprisingly low.
  • Business continuation This coverage integrates a funded buy/sell agreement into your plan, protecting the interest of the owners of your practice and the future of your operations.
  • Building ordinance or law coverage To cover increased costs in construction related to local or federal regulations.
  • Employee dishonesty With your choice of limits per occurrence.
  • Employment practices liability This coverage protects you against loss resulting from a wide range of employee lawsuits, including discrimination, sexual harassment and wrongful termination.
  • Employee benefits liability coverage To protect you against errors and omissions in administering your employee plans.
  • Low-cost fidelity bond If you provide a qualified pension plan, this is the ideal way to meet your legal requirements (ERISA) to protect plan participants against theft of funds.
  • Workers compensation Yes, this absolutely essential coverage is available for your business. Ask your agent for details.

Life insurance to protect you and your practice

We can also handle all of your business life insurance needs. Some examples include:

  • Key employee coverage Designed to protect your business upon the loss of a key employee. Funds can be used to find, hire and train a replacement, as well as compensate for lost business during the transaction.
  • Simplified pension plans Owners of small businesses can turn to either a SEP-IRA or a Simple IRA to get the benefits of a qualified pension plan without the higher administrative costs and paperwork hassles.
  • Debt protection This coverage can secure the funds needed to pay off a company’s debt upon the death of an owner, helping the business continue as a viable entity during this difficult time.
  • Non-qualified executive plans A business may want to reward key people in the organization with such executive plans as deferred compensation, executive bonus and split dollar coverage. Each plan rewards the executive while tying them more closely to the continued success of the business.
