2014-2018 were related to misdiagnosis. With a lack of in-person visits,
most carriers are bracing for a significant increase in claims of this
type, adding to the worrisome uptick in frequency and severity across
all filed claim categories.
Data Security Risk: Telehealth data security has never been more
vulnerable and the means of attacks are rapidly changing. While most
malpractice policies provide cyber insurance, coverage is often limited.
Securing a separate, stand-alone cyber policy is critical in providing
your practice the latest comprehensive coverage. Due to the evolving
nature of cyber liability, having a brokerage team that specializes in
this coverage could protect your practice from significant financial loss
should it become a target.
State Jurisdiction: During the COVID-19 telehealth surge, geog-
raphy blurred with healthcare professionals offering services across
state lines. Physicians need to check with their medical malpractice
carriers to determine proper insurance coverage since many have tight
geographical limitations.
One thing is certain. Telehealth is here to stay and getting stronger.
Make sure your program is in top-notch shape, so patients receive the
right care, at the right place and time.
