Tennessee Dentist Business Insurance

Malpractice Claims

Even with the utmost care, patients may file claims alleging negligence or errors in treatment. Every dentist needs to be prepared for this possibility, regardless of merit.

Property Damage

Natural disasters, fires, or thefts can damage expensive dental equipment and office space. Water damage is a particular concern that may not be covered under all policies.

Cyber Attacks

As practices increasingly rely on digital records, the risk of data breaches grows. This is a high-risk area that many dentists overlook.

Patient Injuries

Slips, falls, or other accidents on your premises can lead to liability claims. These incidents can have a major long-term impact if not properly covered.

Business Interruption

Unexpected events like severe weather or equipment failure can force temporary closures, affecting your ability to focus on your patients. The Allen Thomas Group’s comprehensive business interruption insurance helps protect your lost income if your practice is forced to close temporarily due to unforeseen events like natural disasters or equipment failures.

Auto accidents

Road accidents involving your business auto might prove expensive and threaten your practice.

Choosing the Right Dental Office Insurance Package

Selecting the appropriate dental coverage involves more than just comparing prices. You may want to consider these factors:

Coverage Limits

Ensure your policy provides adequate protection for potential claims. The cheapest policy may not be the best insurance for your practice.

Deductibles

Balance lower premiums with your ability to pay out-of-pocket in case of a claim. This is especially important for high-risk procedures or specialties.

Policy Exclusions

Understand what’s not covered to avoid surprises when you need to file a claim. Some risks may not be covered under basic plans.

Carrier Reputation

Choose an insurer with a strong financial rating and history of fair claims handling.

This is crucial when responding to complaints or facing malpractice suits. If sued by patients, a reputable insurance company can be your savior.

Special Considerations for Tennessee Dentists

High-Risk Procedures and Specialties

Some dental procedures and specialties are considered high risk by insurers. If you’re looking for malpractice insurance for specialized treatments, you may need additional coverage if your existing policy only covers certain procedures. The Allen Thomas Group can help you navigate these complex insurance needs.

State Licensing and Regulations

Tennessee dentists have agreed to abide by specific regulations set by the state licensing bureau. Your insurance coverage should align with these requirements. We’ll ensure your policy meets all state-mandated insurance obligations.

Responding to Patient Complaints

There may be times when you need to respond to patient complaints. Your insurance policy should cover the costs associated with these situations, allowing you to focus on your patients and your practice.
