Insurance services for urgent care centers and medical offices bring recognition.
New York, NY – Schaefer Enterprises, Inc., announced that its specialty insurance for medical offices and urgent care centers has earned it a position on an esteemed list of insurance brokers who have been recognized by Insurance Business America (IBA) and listed on the 2016 Index of US Specialty Brokers. Schaefer Enterprises, Inc. was cited as a top healthcare insurance broker in the country.
SEI earned the recognition by addressing the unique insurance needs of medical office businesses with cost-effective coverage that protects against a full range of exposures and challenges, including policies to cover business owners, commercial umbrella insurance, medical malpractice, workers’ compensation and disability, employment practices liability and coverage for telemedicine liability. These policies include issues common to all business but in particular those related to the unique situations and events faced in the medical office setting.
“We identified a need that was going unfulfilled in the insurance marketplace for healthcare facilities,” agency founder Gregory Schaefer explained. “After thoroughly researching it, we learned that even those few markets that were providing some coverage [for urgent care facilities] were pricing it as if it were an emergency room. We saw an opportunity for excellent coverage at a much lower price that would be attractive to both the insurance companies and urgent care facilities. This niche has been so successful that we are now the number one writer of urgent care facilities in New York.”
The honor, which is chosen by industry peers, is the latest in an impressive list of industry awards recently won my Mr. Schaefer and his company. He was also recognized in March 2016 as a Top 10 Producer by the IBA, and was named a SmartCEO 2016 Future 50 Award Winner, which recognizes a handful of chief executives in the region whose companies have demonstrated remarkably consistent growth and performance. Schaefer Enterprises was recognized in 2015 and 2016 as one of the fastest growing privately held companies in America by Inc. magazine.
