Dental office insurance to protect your business and assets

Your patients’ teeth are your top priority. You take pride in knowing you’re providing the best care possible of every person who walks through your door. Staying up to date on news and trends in dentistry should be top of mind, not your insurance policies. Still, it’s imperative you cover your office’s unique risks with specialized dental office insurance.

Specialized dental office insurance protects your practice.

In addition to the standard office equipment like desks, chairs, and computers, your patient rooms contain equipment unique to the dental profession. Items like X-ray machines, dental chairs, lights, sterilization equipment, and more are all quite costly to replace. A standard business insurance policy may not contain adequate limits. Dentists often have visiting practitioners come in to help cover vacations or extended illness. Conversely, you may work in another office to fill in for someone else. In these circumstances, you need to be sure your insurer knows where you are and who is working in your office.

Dental malpractice and peer review policies are crucial.

Accidents can happen. Patients may also believe they have been treated improperly and, if they file suit or report you to the licensing board, you’ll need to defend yourself. Attorney fees can add up quickly, and if damages are awarded, you could be ruined financially if your practice is not properly insured. Basic dental office insurance policies generally don’t cover malpractice. Depending on the work you do and the population you serve, your needs could be different as well.

Dental offices are still businesses.

As specialized as your business is, you still need to have basic insurance coverages essential to businesses of all types. You’ll want to consider general liability, employee practices liability, cyber liability, and business interruption insurance, among other policies. Working with an insurance agent who understands the specific dental office insurance you need means you’ll be getting a comprehensive suite of policies to protect your dental practice.

Don’t forget coverage for employees and contractors.

Your dental practice needs insurance coverage for its employees, too. Workers’ compensation insurance provides coverage in the event an employee is injured on the job. Hygienists, dentists, and dental assistants face an increased risk of injury based on the tools they use and their close proximity to patients. If you have contract workers in your office on an intermittent basis, be sure to talk with your insurance agent about what obligations you have to provide coverage for them, too.

Medical Payments Coverage and Personal Injury Protection

Risk Factor

Depending on the severity of the injuries suffered in an automobile accident, whether caused by you or by the other vehicle, it’s not uncommon for healthcare costs to run into the thousands of dollars, with a large portion being out-of-pocket expenses not covered by your health plan.

Solution

Medical payments coverage or Personal Injury Protection, depending on where you live, can help cover some medical expenses and funeral expenses of covered drivers and passengers after an accident. The exact requirements, limits, and coverage can vary by state, so it’s important to understand what’s required where you live.

Note: Actual policies must be consulted for specific terms and conditions.

Rental Coverage / Loss of Use

Risk Factor

When your vehicle is being repaired or replaced due to a covered loss, you may have to rent a vehicle to get you to and from your daily responsibilities without any interruption. Vehicle rental can get expensive, especially over an extended period of time.

Solution

Rental coverage/ loss of use is an inexpensive option you can add to your auto insurance policy to pay for the cost to rent a temporary replacement vehicle or the cost of public or private transportation if your vehicle is ever in an accident. This coverage is available in a variety of daily limits.

Note: Actual policies must be consulted for specific terms and conditions.

Bodily Injury Liability Coverage

Risk Factor

It’s easy to get distracted while driving. All it takes is an incoming text message, a fussy baby, or changing the radio station and your eyes are off the road long enough to crash into the slowing vehicle in front of you. As an owner/operator of the vehicle, you may be held financially responsible for any bodily injuries caused as a result of the accident.

Solution

Bodily injury liability covers your legal liability for a covered accident that involves injury to another person, up to the limit of liability you select. Purchase enough coverage to protect your assets should a claim be brought against you or if you are sued. You should also consider purchasing an excess liability policy which may provide additional limits of liability.

Note: Actual policies must be consulted for specific terms and conditions.

Physical Damage Coverage

Risk Factor

Your automobile can be a fairly costly investment – one that is exposed to many potential losses caused by weather related events, theft, and other circumstances that may be out of your control.

Solution

Physical damage coverage can protect your vehicle if it is damaged in an accident (collision coverage), is damaged by something other than a collision (comprehensive coverage) with a vehicle or object or if your vehicle is stolen. This coverage is optional if your vehicle is paid in full, but it is coverage you should consider if you want to fully protect your vehicle.

Note: Actual policies must be consulted for specific terms and conditions.

Property Damage Coverage

Risk Factor

When involved in an auto accident, you and your family may be financially responsible for any damage caused by your vehicle to someone else’s property. The amount required, if any, can vary by state.

Solution

The property damage portion of your auto insurance policy protects you if your car damages someone else’s property, such as another car, a fence, or a building. In some instances, you may be able to choose your coverage limit, or it may be a standard amount dictated by the insurer or local laws.

Note: Actual policies must be consulted for specific terms and conditions.

Uninsured / Underinsured Motorist Damage Coverage

Risk Factor

What happens when the driver who hit you doesn’t have enough liability coverage? Or, even worse, they take off? Research has shown that this happens more than you might expect. If you’re in a collision with someone who is uninsured or underinsured, you can be left to pay out-of-pocket for damages and medical expenses not covered by the other driver.

Solution

Uninsured/underinsured motorist damage coverage may compensate you for bodily injury and lost wages caused by an uninsured motorist, a hit-and-run driver, a driver whose automobile insurance company is insolvent, or a driver who has not purchased enough coverage to pay for damages.

Note: Actual policies must be consulted for specific terms and conditions.
