E&O Insurance Products Summary

ProWriters is most recognized for its E&O insurance products and enjoys underwriting authority for several leading insurance companies.

E&O can be a very complicated insurance product—coverage terms and availability will change depending on the services being provided. Below is a list of the specific areas of E&O in which we focus:

Allied Healthcare (AHC) E&O

Allied Healthcare (AHC) E&O insurance is often referred to as Miscellaneous Medical; it’s a mix of medical-related risks, but it doesn’t fall under a Medical Malpractice policy.

Your client should have AHC E&O if they fit into one of these classes of business:

  • Adult day care centers
  • Drug rehab centers
  • Acupuncturists
  • Testing laboratories
  • Ambulance services
  • Medical staffing agencies
  • Chiropractors
  • Nurses
  • Counselors
  • Optometrists
  • Pharmacies
  • Dialysis centers
  • Occupational therapists
  • Physical therapists
  • Speech therapists
  • Physical training
  • Holistic medical services
  • Psychologists
  • Home health agencies
  • Sleep labs
  • Hospice care services
  • Spas
  • Massage therapists
Architects & Engineers (A&E) E&O

Architects and Engineers have very specific coverage needs in order to provide their services.

They need a policy that can protect their business no matter the project’s size. Even small projects can have many parties involved and when something goes wrong everyone gets brought into the claim.

A&E E&O insurance is relevant for business classes like:

  • Licensed architects
  • Licensed engineers
  • Construction and project managers
  • General contractors
  • Land surveyors
Cyber & Privacy Liability

Almost every business has a privacy exposure these days. With the laws continually changing, it can be very difficult to know what your client’s exposure is. From compromised credit card transactions to years of paper files going missing, whatever the exposure, ProWriters can help.

Do you need help understanding the Cyber & Privacy liability risks your clients are facing? Are you interested in a quote or have general pricing questions?

In either case, contact us—we can help you today.

Financial Institutions / Financial Services

Financial institutions and financial service providers—like securities brokers and dealers—face some of the most complex exposures. There are a limited number of markets that are willing to entertain these risks due to the complexity of the risk and level of the exposure.

Instead of wasting your time trying to find carriers that will offer E&O insurance coverage to your clients, contact us at ProWriters. We have relationships with the carriers that can manage this exposure, and have developed an expertise in this class of business.

Classes of business that we’ll work on with you include:

  • Insurance companies
  • Banks
  • Investment advisors
  • Fund managers
  • Securities brokers
  • Financial advisors
  • Insurance brokers
Healthcare

The healthcare industry often faces different regulations than a typical business. You need an E&O insurance companythat understands those differences. ProWriters can help.

If your client’s class of business is on this list, give us a call:

  • Hospitals
  • Physicians groups
  • Biotechnology companies
  • Medical research companies
Miscellaneous

Miscellaneous E&O or Miscellaneous Professional Liability (MPL) is a catch-all for all other professional risks that don’t fall into a specific area.

This class of business requires a good underwriter and carrier who can understand the risks of a unique business and tailor the coverage to meet the needs of the client.

The classes of business can range from:

  • Management consultant to trustee
  • Staffing agent to collection agent
  • Printer to freight forwarder

If your client’s business class is not listed, it most likely will fall into this category. We may be able to help you! Book a call to find out.

  • Broadcaster
  • Publisher
  • Magazine
  • Newspaper
  • Advertising agency
  • Website owner with a lot of content

If your client needs E&O insurance for one of these companies, you need to make sure they have broad coverage to respond to the broad range of claims that can be made against them.
