Why specialized insurance matters for DSOs
Unlike solo dental practices, DSOs manage multiple locations, larger staff, and heightened regulatory compliance requirements. Without the right coverage, a single claim—whether a malpractice lawsuit, cyberattack, or employment dispute—could result in significant financial loss.
Key risk factors for DSOs:
-
High patient volume increases the likelihood of malpractice claims.
-
Multiple locations create property, liability, and workers’ compensation exposures.
-
Cybersecurity risks threaten compliance with HIPAA and patient data protection laws.
-
Employment liability grows as more associates and administrative staff join your team.
-
Regulatory changes may impact compliance and insurance requirements.
Our risk specialists provide customized solutions that mitigate these risks while optimizing financial performance.
