    Healthcare Facilities

    The patient transfer that didn't happen on time. The infection control breakdown traced back through the chart. The HVAC failure in the OR that turned a routine procedure into an emergency relocation. Healthcare facilities operate at the intersection of clinical risk, regulatory complexity, and physical infrastructure that has to work every minute. The insurance program has to work the same way.

    Why Koosh

    Why Koosh Insurance

    Healthcare is one of the most complex commercial classes — clinical, regulatory, technical, and financial all in one program. We work the specialty markets that serve healthcare daily and coordinate across the lines that have to work together. Patient outcomes are tomorrow's lawsuits and next year's renewals. The policy decisions you make today shape both.

    Specialty market access — hospital programs, physician-owned mutuals, surplus markets for specialty exposures.

    Coordination across malpractice, GL, cyber, and D&O — these lines overlap and gap if not structured deliberately.

    HIPAA and regulatory awareness — cyber and privacy coverage built around healthcare-specific exposure, not a generic form.

    Facility-physician integration — vicarious liability, employed physician programs, and contracted clinician arrangements all structured correctly.

    M&A and integration support — acquisitions, affiliations, and joint ventures handled as the events they are.

    Claims advocacy — healthcare claims are slow, complex, and high-stakes; we advocate from notice through resolution.

    FAQ

    Frequently asked questions

    No. Facility-level professional liability covers the entity and its employed clinicians. Independent physicians practicing at the facility carry their own malpractice. The two need to coordinate — particularly around vicarious liability claims that name both the facility and the physician.

    General liability covers non-clinical premises exposures — slip-and-fall in the lobby, parking lot incidents, visitor injuries. Professional liability covers clinical care — alleged negligence in treatment, diagnosis, or medical decision-making. Many incidents touch both, and the policies need to coordinate at claim time.

    HIPAA requires reasonable safeguards, breach notification, and risk management — it doesn't directly mandate insurance. But carrying cyber liability with HIPAA-specific coverage is now standard practice and often required by hospital affiliation agreements, lender covenants, and certain payor contracts.

    Coverage limits and pricing are influenced by tort reform and damage caps in your state, but state caps don't replace the need for coverage. Defense costs aren't capped, and many claims settle below cap regardless. We size coverage to your actual exposure, not assumed cap protection.

    Acquisitions trigger immediate coverage extensions, adjustments to limits, M&A-related D&O considerations, and often a need for environmental and pollution coverage on the property. We handle the integration as part of the deal, not after.

    Multi-state telehealth creates licensure exposure in every state where patients are located, and the policy needs to cover all those jurisdictions. We map this carefully for any facility with telehealth operations.
