Understanding Insurance for You and Your Practice
Tuesday, March 3 <- today!
Liability, BOP, E&O insurance – when it comes to
insuring our businesses and practices, those names can
be confusing, and policies can be daunting.
Why do advocates need insurance? We aren’t medical, so
what could go wrong?
If you don’t have insurance for your practice yet, but
know you’ll need to acquire it in the near future, do
you know what to look for and what questions to ask? |
|
|
|
|
|
If you already have insurance
for yourself and your practice, how confident are you
that it covers you for the potential problems it needs
to cover? Are you receiving the most competitive rate?
Are there differences in the insurance needs of a nurse
or physician who shifts a practice to advocacy?
What other questions do we have, or, what questions can
be answered that we don’t even know to ask?
Kyle Pass, APHA’s Insurance Adviser, will be our guest
for this call. Kyle has been working with APHA members
for almost three years, insuring many, and answering
questions for most. Join us for this informative call. |

Reviews found on Amazon: |
|
|
This is a great marketing book that is exceptionally organized,
easy to understand and includes exceptional advice. The specific
marketing strategies on public relations, creative ideas on
developing and defining your brand and the wonderful resource
list at the end of the book are just a few reasons why I love
and recommend this book. |
|
|
|
|
|
While the information in the book is basic - good for someone
with no business experience - it also lays out a concrete path
of 'must do' tasks for anyone starting a private healthcare
advocate business and keeps you on track. |
|
|
|
|
|
This book is well written, well organized, and contains valuable
information for businesses in this field. I recommend it without
reservation. |
