Wortham serves the insurance and risk management needs
for a wide range of clients in the healthcare industry:
- Sole
practitioners and group practices
- Large hospital systems and community hospitals
- Multi-specialty clinics
- Medical schools
- Support specialists in home health, physical therapy,
mental health and long term care.
We understand the distinctive insurance and risk management
issues that healthcare professionals face. Due to
the litigious environment, significant challenges exist
for physician groups seeking adequate insurance coverages. Using
our expertise and access to markets, our team has developed
attractive risk transfer and financing alternatives for
Wortham’s clients. For hospitals with substantial
workforces, our team develops programs to address their
special needs, such as preventing injuries and assisting
injured employees in their safe recovery and return to
work.
Wortham’s access to specialty insurers that service
the healthcare industry plays an integral role in our
ability to deliver innovative, thorough solutions for
our clients. We handle all lines of coverage for
healthcare firms and professionals—from property
and casualty insurance to professional indemnity coverage. We
also have substantial experience in medical product liability. In
addition, we counsel our large healthcare clients in utilizing
captive insurance companies to supplement their risk management
programs.
Our staff includes senior partners who serve as account
executives. Technical specialists who handle all lines
of coverage for healthcare companies support the account
executives. Many of our staff members belong to the
American Society of Healthcare Risk Management’s national
and local organizations.
