Healthcare
Hudson Healthcare underwrites claims-made medical malpractice insurance primarily on a non-admitted basis through appointed brokers with extensive knowledge of healthcare liability insurance. Hudson Healthcare professionals are based in Napa, CA, and Chicago, IL, with risk management consultants strategically located around the country. Our team of professional underwriters, actuaries, risk consultants, and claims adjusters, all of whom have numerous years of experience in the medical malpractice insurance marketplace, work closely with regional brokers to provide valuable resources and solutions to our customers. A key factor in setting Hudson Healthcare apart from our peers is our aggressive claim defense philosophy. We defend aggressively those cases that are defensible and settle indefensible cases quickly.
Our Underwriting Appetite Includes:
- Individual Physicians and Small Physician Groups of up to 9 members (primary)
- Physician Groups of 10 or more (primary and up to $4,000,000 in excess)
