Free Healthcare Insurance Webinar On April 15
A free webinar will be held on Wednesday [April 15] at 12.00pm to discuss “reinsurance, claim trends and the underwriting cycle in the Medical Professional Liability [MPL] market.”
A spokesperson said, “Bermuda’s healthcare insurance market will hold a free-to-join industry webinar on April 15 at 12.00pm AST to discuss reinsurance, claim trends and the underwriting cycle in the Medical Professional Liability [MPL] market.
“The virtual panel discussion will give the more than 200 expected participants an insight into the cyclical nature of the market and the impact of changes in the U.S. healthcare system.
“Originally scheduled as part of the agenda for this year’s Bermuda Healthcare Forum, a biennial event for healthcare insurance specialists which has been postponed until April 7-8, 2021, the panel will feature expert representatives from TransRe, Guy Carpenter and Tiger Risk based in Bermuda and the U.S.”
“In the absence of being able to host a physical forum on island this year, we are pleased to provide a virtual platform for carriers and brokers to share knowledge and engage with clients,” said Amy Wolfinger, a member of the forum’s organising committee and Senior Vice President of Aon Bermuda, a platinum sponsor.
“Bermuda continues to be a leading provider of healthcare coverage because of its capacity and proven ability to deliver innovative solutions to increasingly complex risks. The professional liability market was already facing various headwinds earlier this year and the uncertainty regarding covid-19 has exacerbated the challenging marketplace.
“Given the timeliness of this session, the committee wanted to bring it to our audience of colleagues, brokers, and clients this year.”
Lindsay Roos, Healthcare Practice Leader at Bowring Marsh Bermuda and member of the forum organising committee, said, “We are very pleased to host this virtual session. Our speakers are industry leaders in the healthcare reinsurance space and will bring great historical and present-day intelligence to brokers and clients.
“All clients are experiencing some degree of change related to their Medical Malpractice renewals. This panel will discuss recent capacity, pricing and coverage changes being seen at the reinsurance level, as well as drivers for these changes and the impact they may have on upcoming MPL renewals.
“These are unprecedented times for our healthcare clients as they face this crisis from the frontline, and we are pleased to be able to deliver relevant information to them.”
The spokesperson said, “The webinar is supported by sponsors of the Bermuda Healthcare Forum including numerous Bermuda-based brokers and commercial insurance companies, as well as the Bermuda Business Development Agency [BDA].
