How much does healthcare facility insurance cost?

Healthcare facilities pay a median premium of about $65 per month or $785 annually for a business owner’s policy. A BOP combines general liability insurance with commercial property insurance, typically at a lower rate than if the policies were purchased separately.

A BOP protects against third-party injuries and property damage, along with damage to your own business property. Because of its increased coverage and affordability, it’s the policy most often recommended by Insureon’s licensed agents.

Among healthcare facilities that purchase a business owner’s policy with Insureon, 27% pay less than $600 per year and another 44% pay between $600 and $1,200 per year.

The cost is driven by the amount of property coverage required. For example, ambulatory surgery centers and dental labs with specialized equipment are likely to pay more than a small medical office.

Most healthcare facilities choose a business owner’s policy with a $1 million per-occurrence limit and a $2 million aggregate limit. The median deductible is $500.

If you don't need property coverage, it may make sense to buy standalone general liability insurance. This insurance policy costs small businesses a median of $42 per month, or $500 annually.

General liability insurance covers risks involving patients, visitors, and other non-employees – primarily bodily injuries and property damage.

For example, a vendor visiting a dental lab might trip over an extension cord and file a lawsuit over their injury. General liability coverage would pay for legal expenses, including the cost of hiring an attorney and any resulting settlement or court-ordered judgment.

The cost of general liability insurance depends on your level of risk for third-party lawsuits. Basically, the more you interact with the public, the higher your level of risk for this kind of lawsuit.

For example, a small medical office will pay less for this policy than a busy dialysis center that has patients coming and going all day. Businesses that handle other people's property may also pay more for this type of insurance.

To meet state requirements, healthcare businesses with employees usually must purchase workers’ compensation insurance. This policy helps pay for medical treatment and partial lost wages when an employee suffers a work-related injury or illness.

The median premium for this policy is less than $70 per month or $825 per year for healthcare facilities.

Among healthcare facilities that purchase workers’ compensation insurance with Insureon, 36% pay less than $600 per year and another 28% pay between $600 and $1,200 per year.

The cost of a policy depends on the number of employees and their occupational risks, among other factors.
