Lexington Insurance Co., a unit of AIG Commercial Insurance, has introduced Pandemic Rx, an endorsement to their commercial property policy for acute care medical facilities. The endorsement will cover business income loss and extra expenses incurred during a declared pandemic influenza public health emergency.

The endorsement will pay, subject to the limits purchased, for up to six months of income loss during a pandemic flu event, resulting from increased expenses required to render care or reduced reimbursement due to a shift in case mix.

Coverage also applies to expenses such as procurement of vaccines, antibiotics, antiviral medications; consumable resources such as hand hygiene supplies, surgical and procedure masks, gowns, gloves, food and water; and central lines kits and durable resources such as ventilators, respiratory care equipment, beds and intravenous pumps.

Pandemic Rx also provides up to $100,000 for crisis response and public relations costs or to retain a service provider with expertise in applying for reimbursement of eligible expenses from state and federal agencies.
