What is Allied Healthcare Insurance and Why Have It?
The Healthcare industry is an ever evolving and growing industry and the demand for specialized medical care is on the rise. Entities or individuals in this field need financial protection from their professional negligence in administering patient care which results in economic or bodily injury to the patient.

Sample Claim:
Home Helpers LLC is a small home health aide company. Clara, an employee of Home Helpers LLC, has been assigned work at the home of an elderly couple needing daytime assistance. Due to a family emergency, Clara is no longer able to provide services and Home Helpers LLC quickly replaces Clara’s role with another employee who is not as familiar with the couple’s daily routine. Being unfamiliar with the daily duties, the new employee does not remind the couple to take their required medication.
