Allied World Rolls Out Enhanced Coverage for Healthcare Organizations

Allied World Global Markets, part of Allied World Assurance Co. Holdings, will now be offering enhanced coverage options for hospitals and other healthcare organizations in the U.K., Asia and Australia.

The new product is designed to respond to healthcare providers’ core patient exposures, Allied World said in a statement. It also offers additional professional liability coverage to address the emerging nonmedical malpractice exposures and additional general liability coverage for day-to-day nonpatient risks.

Other product features include:

• Automatic extensions to provide sublimited coverage for defense costs associated with a range of exposures, such as allegations of abuse, manslaughter, fraud and dishonesty.
• Costs associated with court attendance, inquest and investigations.
• Public relations support in the event of a claim.
