• What types of risks are eligible for Kinsale’s Allied Health coverage?

  Kinsale’s Allied Health team offers tailored insurance solutions for miscellaneous health care, long-term care, and social service organizations. Our flexible underwriting approach allows us to consider most medical-adjacent risks, providing brokers with options for complex or hard-to-place accounts.

• Can Kinsale offer both Professional and General Liability for Allied Health risks?

  Yes, Kinsale offers both Professional and General Liability, either on a standalone basis with separate limits or on a combined basis with a shared aggregate limit. We can consider policy limits up to $5M on a primary basis and up to $10M in excess through our Excess Professional Division.

  We also offer optional coverage enhancements that allow you to customize coverages. Options include Employee Benefits Liability, stop gap, non-owned auto, HIPAA expense reimbursement, and residential evacuation expense reimbursement. TRIA coverage can be included on General Liability policies at no additional charge.

• Does Kinsale consider Professional and General Liability for alternative medicine risks?

  Yes! Kinsale has a wide appetite for alternative medicine risks including psilocybin and ketamine therapy risks. We also have a broad cannabis appetite that includes outpatient medical facilities (labs, clinics, surgical, rehab, etc.), including medical marijuana evaluators and pharmacies, including medical marijuana dispensaries.

• Why choose coverage from Kinsale's Allied Health team?

  Simply put, we’re fast, flexible, and creative enough to take on complex risk that others won’t. In recent years, many carriers have tightened their Allied Health appetite for reasons ranging from difficult legal venues to emerging technologies and alternative medicines they’re not comfortable considering. As a result, many brokers are experiencing more class restrictions, added exclusions, trimmed limits, and noticeably slower turnaround, especially for complex exposures.

  Whether a risk is straightforward or challenging, our broad, consistent appetite and creative underwriting mean we find ways to underwrite the business, not reasons to decline it.

• Does Kinsale offer coverage for telemedicine or virtual care services?

  We recognize that telehealth is a growing part of the healthcare landscape. Kinsale can consider coverage for providers offering remote or hybrid patient care, depending on licensing and service scope.

• What classes of business does Kinsale typically underwrite in Allied Health?

  If it is Allied Health-related, chances are we can consider it! We cover a broad range of Allied Health classes, including hospitals, outpatient clinics, home health care, residential care facilities, adoption and foster care, medical staffing, and more.

• What’s the difference between Allied Health Professional Liability and Medical Malpractice coverage?

  Both cover professional negligence, but Allied Health Professional Liability offers the same protection in a more tailored form. Kinsale’s Allied Health Professional Liability is crafted for the unique needs of non-physician healthcare professionals such as therapists, home health providers, and clinics.

  We can consider coverage options for physicians & other related health care practices in our Health Care Division.
