Examples or Scenarios

Medical Malpractice
The insured provided telemedicine health counselling, and the claimant reported abdominal pain and asked if she was able to travel. The insured’s doctor wrote an antacid prescription and said she could travel, but recommended she go in and get physically examined if her abdomen was distended. On the way to the airport, the claimant’s complaints worsened, and she went to the emergency room where she was found to have a bowel rupture. 

Cyber
A healthcare organization was attacked by a sophisticated foreign phishing attack which exposed the information of nearly 20,000 pediatric patients. Employees had clicked on the phishing emails and either gave up credentials or launched malware into their network. Forensics found some evidence of data exfiltration. The data contained patients’ names, clinical information, phone number, addresses and insurance information. Our Beazley Breach Response Services coordinated outside legal counsel, forensics, notification, a call center vendor, and credit monitoring. 

Tech Services/Tech Products Liability
The insured was a software computer company specializing in converting medical data, usually from an upgrade or switching electronical medical record (EMR) software. The claimant brought a medical malpractice claim against their healthcare provider and two doctors for improperly prescribing a drug. The insured was brought in as a third-party defendant and the complaint alleged that the patient’s medical records were not properly transferred from one EMR software to another, which led to prescribing the wrong drug.
