There are risks involved in all industries. But, when people earn their living based on their knowledge and expertise—like those who work in the medical industry—the risks become a bit more complex and unique.
In the medical industry, it's not uncommon for professionals to be faced with lawsuits related to medical expenses, bodily injury, damage to property and more. These lawsuits can be costly, and can cause damage to the reputation of the medical professional or company.
In order to combat the complexity of these risks, it's necessary for companies in the medical industry to obtain professional liability insurance.
When referring to professional liability insurance in the medical industry, medical malpractice is the most common form. Admiral's medical malpractice coverage is tailored specifically for physicians, surgeons and dentists. But, in addition to typical medical malpractice, there are also a number of other types of specialized professional liability insurance available for other areas of the industry.
The following are a few examples of the types of businesses that can benefit greatly from professional liability insurance designed specifically for the medical industry—like our AdmiralPro Delta® MED product.
Ambulatory Surgery Centers

Clinical Research Organizations
Clinical trials are a wonderful way to advance medical procedures, drugs and more. But, the complex nature of clinical trials introduces a vast number of risks. If your client offers clinical trials, it's imperative that they obtain specialized insurance to protect their skilled professionals and their research organization.
Medical Spas
The medical spa industry is one that is growing rapidly—from anti-aging to aesthetic procedures. And, with this rapid growth, it's important to recognize the possible risks and establish coverage that protects every aspect of a medical spa business.
Home Health Care
Home health care allows the opportunity for people to receive necessary medical services and care—like hospice and physical therapy—within the comfort of their own home. Because this type of health care occurs in the patients' homes, it produces a number of additional risks.
Healthcare Facilities and Medical Organizations
Healthcare facilities come in all shapes and sizes. Some examples include traditional hospitals, urgent care facilities, blood banks and more. Some of these facilities offer services that are more high-risk than others, which is why it's important to pursue a professional liability policy that offers flexibility.
