Healthcare risk financing: clinical liability, facilities and employee benefits

Healthcare organizations face two very different risks that are easy to confuse: liability for patient care, and the cost of their own employees' health benefits. They are financed and regulated separately.

Clinical liability, facility and employee-benefit risks in healthcare, with specialists who serve the sector.

Common risks and risk-financing considerations in Healthcare

  • Professional liability and claims development — Medical professional liability claims can take years to report and resolve. Evaluating a retained layer depends on credible claims history.
  • Facilities and operations — Hospitals, clinics and other sites carry property and premises exposures, often across many locations.
  • Clinical risk versus employee health funding — Employee health benefits are a separate question: a self-funded health plan and medical stop-loss follow benefits rules, not malpractice rules. Keep them apart.
  • Questions for specialists — Ask which care settings a provider has worked with and how it reserves long-tail claims. Group captives are one structure discussed for professional liability, and claims administration is a separate role to fill.

Relevant solutions for Healthcare

  • Captive Insurance

    A captive is an insurance company owned by the business, or group of businesses, whose risks it insures. The owner keeps a defined layer of risk inside a licensed vehicle it controls, rather than transferring all of it to the commercial market.

  • Group Captive

    A group captive is an insurer owned by several companies — often unrelated, sometimes in the same industry — that pool part of their risk and share the cost of running it. Each member keeps some of its own losses and shares others, so its results depend partly on the rest of the group.

  • Self-Insurance

    Self-insurance is the broad category of risk financing in which an organization retains and pays its own losses instead of transferring them to an insurer for a premium. It sits underneath captives and most other alternative structures, but it does not require forming an insurance company.
