Healthcare facilities and medical groups continue to experience a dramatic increase in the frequency and severity of claims as a result of ransomware and phishing attacks.
As today’s risks are more threatening and prevalent, it is important for you to remember the value-added insurance coverages CAP provides as part of your membership, including CyberRisk insurance. This cyberliability policy covers up to $50,000 and 5,000 patient notifications per covered claim should you experience a data breach in your practice.
CAP members should note that their CyberRisk insurance includes a $2,500 deductible per covered claim.
In addition, your CyberRisk insurance benefit is subject to a shared annual aggregate limit of $10,000,000, which means that all amounts paid under CyberRisk on your behalf and on behalf of all other CAP members will reduce and may completely exhaust such shared annual aggregate limits. If the shared annual aggregate limit is exhausted, your individual CyberRisk limits will also be deemed exhausted, and there will be no further CyberRisk insurance benefit available to you or others for the remainder of the year.
To avoid potential claims, CAP encourages all member practices to implement strict cybersecurity measures. As part of the benefits of your CyberRisk insurance, you and your staff can access free HIPAA training courses on how to prevent data breaches, and much more at https://CAP.nascybernet.com. First-time users will need to sign up for a free account with your CAP member number as your “Sign Up Code.” Once you have registered, you will be able to create usernames and passwords for your employees also.
