Excess Physician Professional Liability Policy

 

READ THE ENTIRE POLICY CAREFULLY TO DETERMINE RIGHTS, DUTIES AND WHAT IS AND WHAT IS NOT COVERED.

 

NOTICE: THIS POLICY IS INCOMPLETE UNLESS SECTION 1, DECLARATIONS, IS ATTACHED.

 

This policy has been issued in reliance upon the statements in the Declarations and in the application submitted for this insurance. Various provisions in this policy restrict coverage.

 

Wherever used in this policy, the words “you” and “your” refer to the “Named Insured” shown in the Declarations and the words “We”, “Us”, and “Our” refer to the Company providing this insurance. Other words and phrases in this policy that appear in quotation marks have special meanings. Refer to the Definitions provision in this Section when the meanings are not defined where used.

 

All coverages of this policy are subject to the following General Provisions:

 

1)                        Insuring Agreement

 

In consideration of the payment of the premium, and in reliance upon the statements in the Declarations and in the application made a part of this policy, subject to all of the terms of this policy, we agree to indemnify any “insured” that portion of “ultimate net loss” in excess of “controlling underlying insurance policy” stated in Item 6 of the Declarations.

 

Except as otherwise provided by the specific terms contained in this policy, the insurance afforded by this policy shall follow all the terms, conditions, definitions and exclusions of the “controlling underlying insurance policy” designated in Item 6 of the Declarations. Should any of the provisions of the “controlling underlying insurance policy” conflict with our policy, the provisions of our policy will apply.

 

2)                        Limits of Liability

 

The insurance afforded by this policy applies separately to each “insured” against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to our limits of liability.

 

Regardless of the number of “insureds” under this policy, persons or organizations who sustain injury or damage, or claims made or suits brought, our liability is limited as follows:

 

(i)                       Our limits of liability under this policy apply only after the “underlying insurer” has paid or are liable to pay the full amount of its per occurrence limit of liability stated in Item 2 of the Declarations.

 

(ii)                    Our total limit of liability for all “ultimate net loss” as the result of any one “occurrence” or “medical incident” shall not exceed the limit of liability stated in Item 2 of the Declarations as applicable to each “occurrence” or “medical incident”. Should any single event result in an “occurrence” and a “medical incident” for which coverage is provided by the provisions of this policy, nonetheless, our total liability for such single event shall not exceed the amount stated in Item 2 of the Declarations as the “Each Occurrence or Medical Incident” limit.

 

(iii)                 Our total limit of liability for all “ultimate net loss” because of all “occurrences” or “medical incidents”, to which this policy applies, shall not exceed the limit of liability stated in Item 2 of the Declarations as the Policy Aggregate.

 

3.                         Persons or Entities Insured

 

Any person or organization which is an insured under the terms of the “controlling underlying insurance policy”, unless specifically excluded by this policy.

4.                         Defense and Expenses for Claims and Suits

 

We shall not be obligated to investigate, defend or settle any loss, claim or suit against any “insured”, but we shall have the right and shall be given the opportunity to associate with any “insured” or its “underlying insurers”, or both, in the investigation, defense or settlement of any loss, claim or suit which, in our opinion, involves or appears reasonably likely to involve us. If we avail ourselves of such right and opportunity, any “insured”, its insurers and we shall cooperate in such matters so as to effect a final determination thereof. Any “insured” shall not make or agree to any settlement for an amount in excess of “underlying insurance” limits of liability without the approval of the Named Insured.

 

Defense Costs shall be paid in addition to the Limits of Liability and shall be paid based on the ratio that this policy’s portion of the Loss (indemnity only) bears to the total amount of Loss (indemnity only).

 

5.                         Definitions

 

“Controlling underlying insurance policy” means the insurance policy designated as such in Item 6 of the Declarations.

 

“Insured” means any person or organization described as such in the “Persons or Entities Insured” section of this policy.

 

“Medical Incident” - means an actual or alleged act, error or omission in furnishing or failing to furnish professional medical services, or a series of related actual or alleged acts, errors or omissions in furnishing or failing to furnish professional medical services.

 

“Occurrence” means an accident or occurrence or happening or event or an act or a series of acts or offense or injury or damage covered by the “controlling underlying insurance policy” designated in Item 6 of the Declarations.

 

“Ultimate Net Loss” means the sum actually paid or payable, after deduction of all recoveries and salvage, in the settlement or satisfaction of losses, claims or suits for which any “insured” is liable either by adjudication or settlement. Ultimate net loss includes all “defense expenses” incurred in the investigation and defense of a loss, claim or suit.

 

“Underlying insurance” means the primary or excess insurance policies contributing to the total limit (including any deductible amount, insured’s participation or renewals or replacements thereof).

 

For purposes hereunder the definition of “Medical Incident” in the underlying insurance will be limited to all claims based on, arising out of, directly or indirectly resulting from, in consequence of, or in any way involving the same related facts, circumstances, situations, transactions or events whether related logically, casually or in any other way.

 

“Underlying insurer” means any person or organization (including any “insured”) that provides underlying insurance.

(a)                     to join us as a party or otherwise bring us into a suit asking for damages from “insured”; or

 

(b)                    to bring suit under our policy, unless all of our policy terms and the terms of our policy and the “controlling underlying insurance policy” have been fully complied with.

B.                      Audits of Books and Records

 

We may examine and audit any “insured’s” books and records anytime during our policy period or within 3 years thereafter.

G.                      “Insured’s” Duties in the Event of Loss, Claim or Suit

 

You must notify us as soon as practicable of an “occurrence” or “medical incident” which any “insured” or any representative of any “insured” evaluates as having a settlement or judgment value equal to or exceeding 25 percent of the limits of liability for the “underlying insurance”.

(c)                     not contain any exclusion not found in or that are more restrictive, from the viewpoint of any “insured”, than in the “controlling underlying insurance policy”.

I.                           Our Right to Recover Payment
