Allied Health Medical Professional Liability

The Allied Health Medical Professional Liability product is designed to meet the coverage needs of more than 300 classes of health care entities and workers. Today, patients are more likely to receive medical care from an allied health care specialist than a physician, surgeon or dentist. The field of allied health care is expanding at a rapid pace with more than 60 percent of the total health care workforce providing a range of diagnostic, technical, therapeutic and direct patient care services. Protective Specialty has a broad appetite with up to $5,000,000 in capacity on both a primary and excess basis.
