Professional Liability Insurance
The policy offered through Dentist's Advantage protects you for damages resulting from dental services provided, or that should have
been provided, to your patients. The policy covers you, your legal organization, past or present employees and approved substitute
dentists (locum tenens).
Program features include:
Choice of coverage limits - up to $5,000,000 available.
Unrestricted Consent to Settle - This is a guaranteed right. We will not settle any professional liability claim
without your written approval - and there are no limitations, such as mandatory arbitration or "hammer" clauses.
Retirement "Tail" Benefits - After you have been a policyholder for five years, Extended Reporting Coverage is free
at age 50 or older if you decide to permanently cease practicing dentistry or upon disability or death.
First Aid Expense Coverage - Pays up to $5,000 for expenses incurred when a patient is accidentally injured during
treatment and requires first aid. (Note that usage of the First Aid benefit does not constitute a claim.)
Defense of State Regulatory Investigation - Reimburses you for attorney fees, costs & other related expenses for
your defense of disciplinary charges or licensing action by a state regulatory authority arising as the result of a covered claim.
Association Coverage - Protects you as an officer or committee member of the American Dental Association or any professional
dental society it recognizes.
