Identifying risks and using optimisation potential
Hospitals are exposed to a number of different risks. The core risk of hospitals and the medical community usually lies in professional practice. The costs of losses resulting from professional errors have increased drastically in recent years. In light of these developments many risk carriers have withdrawn from this market. At the same time insurance premiums for healthcare liability have risen rapidly.
Due to this tense market situation hospitals are finding it increasingly necessary to accept unfavourable terms and conditions. As Germany’s largest family-run independent insurance broker with an international network, we devise tailored risk transfer strategies for our clients, taking into account our special industry knowledge of the healthcare sector.
