Managed Care Program Offers Single Policy and Multiple Coverages

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Feb. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Five Star Healthcare™, a division of Crump Insurance Services, Inc. (Crump P&C), and part of Crump Group, Inc., one of the nation's largest insurance wholesalers, today announced it has added a new insurance facility for managed care service providers.

Five Star Healthcare increases its healthcare coverage options with the introduction of a Managed Care Program. This is the third program in a line of healthcare products, which includes a Senior Living program and coverage for Kidney Dialysis Centers. Provided through Torus Specialty Insurance Company and Torus National Insurance Company ("Torus"), both AM Best A- (Excellent) rated carriers, this program provides coverage to eligible managed care service providers such as Independent Physician Associations (IPAs), Physician's Hospital Organizations (PHOs), Managed Care Organizations (MICOs), Administrative Service Organizations (ASOs) and more. 

The Managed Care Program is a single policy solution providing multiple coverage options. Available coverages include Miscellaneous Errors & Omissions (E&O), Directors & Officers coverage (D&O), Fiduciary, Privacy and Network Security, Media Errors & Omissions, Employment Practices Liability (EPL) and Technology Errors & Omissions. Coverage can be written as stand-alone or in combination with separate or aggregate limits.

A major highlight of the program is its broad Description of Operations Endorsement, available only through 5Star Healthcare. The Managed Care Program is available nationwide with low minimum premiums and deductibles.

When introducing the new program, Dave Obenauer, president of Crump P&C, said that "a managed care solution is of primary importance to clients of our Healthcare Practice. The 5Star solution responds to insured requests for a flexible product with broad coverage." Commenting on the changing marketplace, Obenauer affirmed that the product launch is timely, as "we are starting to see ripples of change in the professional lines industry with regard to appetite."

Michael Phillips, Senior Vice President of the Torus' Commercial Errors & Omissions Division, commented on Torus' relationship with 5Star Healthcare saying, "The expertise available from both companies is very complimentary. Knowledge of the healthcare industry in general and insurance coverage available is unique within 5Star. Combining that expertise with the ability to underwrite and distribute specialty products, makes 5Star a key strategic partner for Torus and enhances the market capabilities for the Managed Care Program."
