From The Hartford Insurance Company

Commercial Property Insurance covers your Building and Business Personal Property in the event that your property or the contents within your property are damaged or destroyed as a result of a covered loss.

 

Your exposures are: Property exposure is high due to the use of expensive medical equipment.

 

How to avoid a claim: All electrical wiring must be up to code and equipment properly maintained. Excellent housekeeping is required and smoking should be prohibited. All electrical wiring must be up to code and equipment properly maintained. A small fire, which produces smoke, can cause considerable damage when sterile equipment and environments are compromised. Theft is not normally considered a concern as the equipment is specialized and not easy to resell. However, if the doctor or physician has an inventory of drugs on the premises and fills patients' prescriptions, theft exposure becomes very high. Rigid controls must be maintained including, but not limited to, inventory control and limited access to drug storage areas. The business income and extra expense exposure can be minimized if the clinic has arranged for temporary facilities with another clinic.
