What's Covered
Medical Malpractice Liability

Workers' Compensation
Provides benefits to employees who suffer work-related injuries or illnesses, covering medical expenses and lost wages.
Business Interruption

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about healthcare insurance in Oregon
What is medical malpractice insurance and do I need it?
Medical malpractice (professional liability) insurance covers claims that a healthcare provider caused patient harm through negligence, misdiagnosis, or treatment errors. Oregon healthcare providers — including physicians, nurses, therapists, and clinics — should carry this coverage to protect against costly lawsuits.
Does Oregon require healthcare businesses to carry specific insurance?
Oregon licensing boards for physicians, dentists, and other healthcare providers typically require proof of professional liability insurance as a condition of licensure. Facilities accepting Medicare and Medicaid must also meet federal insurance requirements.
What is HIPAA and how does it affect my insurance needs?
HIPAA requires healthcare providers to protect patient health information. A data breach involving patient records can trigger regulatory fines and class-action lawsuits. Cyber liability insurance designed for healthcare covers HIPAA breach response costs, notification expenses, and regulatory defense.
What does general liability cover for a healthcare facility?
General liability covers third-party bodily injury and property damage claims — for example, a patient slipping in your waiting room or a visitor injured on your premises. It does not cover professional errors; that requires separate medical malpractice coverage.
How much does healthcare insurance cost in Oregon?
Healthcare insurance costs vary significantly by specialty, patient volume, and claims history. A small therapy practice might pay $1,500–$3,000/year for professional liability, while a surgical center could pay $50,000+. Insure Pacific compares rates from 50+ carriers to find competitive pricing.
