Private Medical Consultants and Clinics in Ireland and the UK have been experiencing varying levels of rate increases to the cost of their annual Medical Protection or Indemnity Policy. Medical Indemnity Insurance companies are offering comprehensive protection by means of a Medical Indemnity Insurance Policy with limits of indemnity ranging from €1,300,000 up to €25,000,000.

Cover is provided on a Claims-Made basis. There can be some misunderstanding in this area and I would encourage you to get in touch with me directly if you wish to seek clarification on Claims Made Cover versus Claims Occurrence Cover. The following document should help clarify the main points - Claims Made Cover versus Claims Occurrence Cover
