We're Here to Help if You...
Non standard risk insurance
The medical sector is innovative and evolving. The use of technology to drive the development of medical equipment and treatments means that for individuals and businesses, standard cover may not be appropriate or cover the ‘emerging risks’ that come with pioneering techniques.
Similarly, it could be that you work or operate across global geographical boundaries, meaning you are obligated to deal with differing legal and regulatory conditions. Whatever the case, Medicas can help find the cover that you need.
Distressed risk insurance for medical practitioners
In the UK alone, the regulatory and legal framework in which you operate as a medical professional are strict and ever changing. Coupled with a society that is increasingly litigious, claims made against medical professionals are on the rise.
It could be that you have been fined by a membership organization, have a pending or prior claim on your record. Circumstances such as these can sometimes mean being refused cover, or else finding cover difficult to obtain. Leveraging our strong working relationships with insurers and underwriters globally, we are able to place cover for individuals or businesses that were otherwise struggling to get protection in place.
