Medical Professional Liability
What is insured?
We are insured for defense costs and payment of claims for all amounts the university is legally obligated to pay as a result of injury or damage arising out of the treatment of patients. Insurance coverage extends to employees, students, volunteers and others while acting within the scope of their duties for the university.
What do I do if I have a claim?
Physicians, nurses and other health care professionals must report incidents to Patient Relations & Clinical Risk for investigation.
