Disaster Planning for Your Medical Practice

Staff  |  Issue: May 2012  |  May 9, 2012

It is very important to protect your practice and your staff, so remember to insure yourself in several ways by purchasing practice-based insurance. Property and casualty policies sometimes don’t cover natural disasters, such as floods or earthquakes, so you might consider purchasing a separate policy to cover these threats. Also, keep your insurance policy up to date and in a location that is accessible if there is a disaster.

With a few simple tools and a commitment to making this a priority, you can be confident that you have the plan, skills, and resources to manage your professional practice regardless of the circumstances that may arise.
