Coverage designed to respond to actions brought by, or on behalf of, government entities for billing errors and omissions.

Beazley launched its regulatory liability coverage in March 2012 and has continued to update and create enhancements. Beazley was one of the first to provide a true risk transfer solution to the market and arguably the first to provide a risk transfer product to the larger provider.
This coverage can now be purchased as part of a package within the Healthcare management liability suite called Beazley Remedy. Regulatory billing E&O coverage can be purchased by itself or in conjunction with D&O, EPL and Fiduciary. The limits can be written shared or separate. A variety of options for
retentions, coinsurance, limits and retro dates can be quoted.
Beazley's Healthcare Regulatory product is designed to respond to actions brought by or on behalf of government entities for billing errors and omissions. Our policy also covers claims brought by commercial payors and defense expenses for formal voluntary disclosures to the government. Coverage includes attorney fees, external auditor and medical expert costs associated with defending these claims as well as fines and penalties and damages attributed at the time of settlement. Our reimbursement policy is available in all 50 states.
Loss examples:
While the False Claims Act imposes liability on all people and entities that have defrauded governmental programs, it has a special importance for healthcare. In fiscal year ending in 2017, the Department of Justice obtained $3.7 billion in False Claims Act recoveries. $2.4 billion of this was recovered from the healthcare industry.
The 2017 False Claims Act annual recovery was the 8th consecutive year the DOJ’s recoveries have exceeded $3 billion, suggesting this is a new ‘normal’. While settlements have been reached in almost every US state, states that have enacted their own version of the False Claims Act can also seek recoveries through state government, resulting in higher total settlement amounts. The Qui Tam mechanism allows individuals with evidence of fraud against the federal programs to sue on behalf of the government. In 2017, whistle-blowers earned more than $392M in share awards.
