Whether your agency specializes in nursing, physician placement, allied health, or locum tenens staffing, Mason-McBride helps you design an insurance strategy that scales with your growth.
Our advisors understand the fast-paced world of healthcare staffing, where every contract, clinician, and client carries unique risks. We partner with staffing and recruitment agencies to help ensure compliance, reduce liability, and protect profitability.
Common Coverages for Staffing Agencies
Mason-McBride collaborates with healthcare staffing agencies and recruitment firms of all sizes to develop insurance strategies that address day-to-day and long-term risks and meet contract and certificate-of-insurance (COI) requirements.
While needs vary by specialty, state, and contract language, common coverages include:
Workers Compensation Insurance:
Healthcare staffing agencies face unique workers’ compensation exposures. This coverage can provide benefits to employees recovering from work-related injuries or illnesses and may extend support to families in the event of a workplace fatality. Factors such as job duties, payroll size, and claims history typically affect costs.
General Liability Insurance:
General liability coverage can help protect your employment agency against claims related to bodily injury, property damage, advertising injury, or certain allegations of errors or omissions. Without this coverage, your business may be responsible for legal costs, including attorney fees and settlements.
Cyber Liability Insurance:
Cyber liability insurance helps address data breaches involving personally identifiable information. Many policies can also include extortion coverage, business income protection, and systems failure due to a cyber event.
Professional Liability Insurance:
Professional liability, also known as E&O, helps protect against claims of negligence tied to professional services. A claim could arise if a client alleges financial loss due to an error, omission, or placement issue involving a healthcare professional.
Business Property Insurance:
Designed to help protect office contents, laptops, and mobile equipment from covered causes of loss. Consider inland marine for devices traveling to client locations and business income/extra expense for continuity.
Employment Practices Liability (EPLI)
Addresses allegations related to hiring, termination, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and wage-and-hour defense (where available). A key control for multi-site and per-diem workforces.
