What you’ll get out of this episode
If your company deals in healthcare data, mobile apps, digital therapeutics, multi-jurisdictional telemedicine, or any other interesting digital health angle, you’re about to find out why insurance is an essential (and even interesting!) conversation for innovators.
Beracah Stortvedt is the Digital Health and Emerging Med-Tech Practice Co-Leader at Marsh & McLennan Agency. He helps companies in the Digital Health and Healthcare space grow their businesses safely and strategically through business insurance solutions (D&O, Medical Malpractice, Cyber Liability, etc.) in ways that generalist brokers cannot.
In this episode you’ll discover:
- What the unique risks for digital health companies are
- Why your tech company might need medical practice insurance, or your practice’s telemedicine services might require errors and omissions coverage—and other surprising areas of risk in the digital health space
- Why your coverage should overlap and “talk to each other” in these complex scenarios so you don’t have gaps
- How multi-state telemedicine companies should evaluate insurance based on their complex needs
- How much you should expect to pay for this
Beracah is also Nixon Gwilt’s go-to resource for innovators when it comes to insurance needs (and every innovator needs insurance), so you won’t want to miss this conversation.
