Chubb and The Doctors Company are now offering malpractice insurance to dental professionals.
In a statement, Chubb said that the insurance was specifically designed for general dentists, endodontists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, orthodontists, periodontists, prosthodontists, and other dental specialists. The Doctors Company policy provides dental malpractice coverage that also insures against cyberattacks and data breaches, HIPAA violations, and Dental Board and Medicare/Medicaid reviews, and covers dental hygienists and assistants at no additional charge.
Jim Williamson, the division president of Chubb's small commercial insurance business, said, “This policy offering makes it easier for dental professionals to choose the best business insurance to meet their needs. From state-of-the-art equipment to patients' electronic records, the right insurance coverage can protect their practices in today's ever-changing dental care environment.”
“The Doctors Company is pleased to work with Chubb to bring unparalleled insurance solutions to dental practices nationwide,” said Richard E. Anderson, M.D., FACP, the chair and chief executive officer of The Doctors Company. “We are committed to providing specialized guidance, resources, and coverage so dental professionals can spend more time caring for patients instead of defending their practice.”
