Case Study
A multi-disciplinary therapy practice provides PT/OT/speech services across several senior-living communities and in patients’ homes. Coverage is arranged through an MGA using Hiscox’s Allied Healthcare Professional and General Liability product. As the practice grows, Hiscox and the MGA request more detailed incident and claims data by service type, location, and provider to better understand risk drivers.
The practice uses Caring Data to standardize incident reporting across its operations, capturing treatment-related complications, falls during sessions, privacy lapses, and non-treatment incidents such as slips in common areas. De-identified aggregate data is shared with the MGA and Hiscox. Hiscox uses the structured data to adjust deductibles, refine risk appetite, and recommend targeted risk-management actions such as documentation training and environment-specific fall-prevention protocols. The practice gains a clear picture of risk patterns across senior-care settings.
