With today's high costs of a lawsuit, professional liability
insurance is a must for all healthcare providers. But counting solely on
your employer's program may not provide all the coverage you need. Now
with coverage through HPSO you can protect your individual interests.
Liability limits protect you solely and are not shared with other
employees.

Coverage
through HPSO protects you for incidents that occur on the job. But,
you're also covered off-duty as well. For example, care or advice you
offer to a friend or family member, emergency care or Good Samaritan
assistance you offer may result in a claim against you. Your employer's
plan may provide no protection after hours. Coverage through HPSO
protects you 24 hours a day. And your coverage remains in force if you
change jobs, or even during a period of unemployment.
