D&O Coverage for Health Care Organizations

Every health care organization-whether large or small, for-profit or not-for-profit, privately owned or publicly traded-is a potential target for litigation. The business practices and decisions of health care boards, like boards in other business sectors, have come under intense scrutiny from governmental regulating bodies and the public. Lawsuits can be brought by attorneys general, provider groups, employees, customers, vendors, creditors, competitors, and regulatory agencies, and can result in serious financial loss.
