What's Covered Under a Dental Malpractice Policy From Berxi?

Comprehensive & Flexible Dental Malpractice Coverage

Dental malpractice coverage insures you against claims you were negligent or made a mistake as a dentist, resulting in bodily harm to another. This includes providing you with a lawyer to defend yourself and the funds to pay judgments or settlements.

AMOUNT COVERED: Limits of liability include $1M per claim/$3M aggregate (additional options available)

Defense Counsel

If a claim is filed against you, we’ll retain an experienced dental malpractice lawyer for you. We’ll pay for related defense costs (e.g., lawyer fees, court fees, expert witness costs). These defense costs are “outside” the limits of your insurance. This means that their services don’t cut into the settlement amounts you may need to pay to the injured party.

AMOUNT COVERED: Paid in addition to your policy’s limits

Worldwide Coverage

Your policy applies on a worldwide basis, as long as a claim is brought against you in the United States (which includes any U.S. territories or possessions).

Good Samaritan Coverage

If you provide professional care to someone who is not your patient in a first aid or emergency situation, and that person files a claim against you, your policy would still apply.

HIPAA Violation Defense

If you are investigated for potential HIPAA violations, we provide you with access to counsel and will reimburse you for costs related to HIPAA proceedings — including HIPAA fines.

AMOUNT COVERED: $25,000 per policy period

First Aid Expenses

If there’s an accident unrelated to your dental professional services at your practice and someone is injured, their first aid expenses can be covered under your policy, provided that the person injured is not covered under workers’ compensation or similar benefits.

AMOUNT COVERED: $10,000 limit per person

Peer Review Committee Coverage

This coverage applies to the expenses to defend a dispute, usually regarding treatment or billing decisions, that is brought by a dental peer review board or committee. The dispute might be between you and a patient, a third-party payer like a Preferred Provider Organization, or even your dental association.

AMOUNT COVERED: $25,000 limit per policy period

Licensing Board Protection Defense

If the professional licensing authority is investigating matters related to your professional conduct, our policy provides you with legal defense.

AMOUNT COVERED: $25,000 limit per policy period

Wage Loss/Deposition Expenses
