Guides for diagnostic and clinical labs.
In-depth coverage explainers written for this segment.
What Is an Additional Insured Endorsement and When Does Your Lab Need One?
Lab contracts with hospitals require additional insured status. Agreeing to it and holding a policy that actually provides it are two different things.
Does My AI Billing Tool Create False Claims Act Exposure for My Lab?
An AI billing tool that sends a wrong claim to Medicare puts the False Claims Act exposure on your lab, not the vendor. Indemnification does not fix that.
What Is a Certificate of Insurance and What Should Your Lab Check Before Signing?
A certificate of insurance proves coverage at issuance. It does not guarantee future coverage, amend the policy, or create new rights for the holder.
What Is the Difference Between Claims-Made and Occurrence Coverage for a Clinical Lab?
Claims-made and occurrence policies answer lab claims on different timelines. The difference stays hidden until a claim arrives, often after a carrier switch.
What Insurance Does a Clinical Lab Need to Process International Specimens?
Foreign specimens add jurisdictional, governing law, and currency questions a standard US lab professional liability policy was not built to answer.
What Is Cyber Liability Insurance and Does My Clinical Lab Actually Need It?
A lab breach is not just an IT incident. It triggers HIPAA notification, OCR risk, and patient claims. Cyber covers the response; general liability does not.
