The foundation of any business insurance policy is general liability coverage, the same is true when it comes to your Medical Office Insurance policy. This policy will provide you with comprehensive coverage against some of the most common claims that your may face, such as:

• Bodily Injury – If a patient comes into your doctors office and slips, breaking their arm, you could potentially face a lawsuit to pay their medical bills. Simply because the accident took place on your premises, you will be held accountable. Fortunately, your general liability insurance will pay the cost of such a claim.
  
• Personal Injury – As an allied healthcare professional, it may be difficult to imagine being sued for copyright infringement, slander or libel. However, if you use one of your patient’s pictures in your advertisements without proper permission, you could find yourself faced with a personal injury claim.
  
• Property Damage – As you are treating your patient, their personal property may become lost or damages. You may be held accountable for the cost of replacement, but your general liability insurance will help with such an expense.

In order to protect your business assets from damage or loss, your policy must include property insurance. Should an accident or natural disaster damage or destroy your office space and its contents, you will have the funds for replacement and repairs.

In most cases, a business property insurance policy will also include coverage for business interruption. This means that you will also receive compensation for the income that is lost when you have to close the doors of your medical office in order to take care of an insurance claim.

Property insurance will typically cover loss or damage that occurs as a result of fire, power outages and surges, theft, vandalism and windstorms. A standard property insurance policy will not include coverage for loss or damage that is caused by an earthquake, flooding or a hurricane. For these disasters, you will need to add endorsements to your Medical Office Insurance policy or purchase a separate policy.

You have the option to insure your assets for replacement or cash value. While the premium for cash value coverage will be slightly lower, you will only receive compensation for the depreciated value of the property.
