DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS LIABILITY

Health care related organizations face a variety of exposures less common to organizations in other industries. They operate in a complex and ever changing regulatory environment that results in unique claims relating to Medicare, Medicaid, Erisa, Cobra, HIPAA, anti-trust, false or deceptive trade practices, false claims act violations and other violations, regulatory actions or litigation brought by state and local agencies that have oversight over their business.

Private companies and non-profit organizations should carry D&O insurance as part of a comprehensive risk mitigation plan, regardless of whether or not they are concerned about exposure to shareholder or debt holder claims. They should be aware that many claims are brought by a wide variety of other types of claimants including, regulators, competitors, vendors, suppliers and even their own customers.

Lawsuits can be time consuming and expensive to defend, taking time away from management of the business and potentially impacting the balance sheet and the ability of the organization to survive, not to mention the personal impact to the Directors and Officer in cases where the organization is not permitted to indemnity or is financially unable to do so.
