Okay, so I just wanna have a few case examples
0:02
on this is the quiz time.
0:04
So get prepared. You missed the breast cancer in 2002.
0:08
You are made aware of the miss in 2004
0:11
and notify your insurer.
0:13
A suit is filed in 2008.
0:15
It's not unusual for there to be some delay.
0:18
Would the claim be covered by an occurrence policy
0:22
for the year 2002?
0:24
Pause for your answer. And the correct answer is yes
0:28
because it's when the reading occurred.
0:33
Not necessarily when the claim for a medical-legal,
0:40
um, case was made in 2008.
0:43
So what you did in 2002 is covered at infinitum
0:48
for forever by the occurrence policy.
0:52
So yes, in two, 2000.
0:54
And so if you have an occurrence policy
0:58
that is only for 2002
1:01
and you made a miss in 2004, it would not cover it.
1:05
So that's the no answers. Okay?
1:09
You missed the breast cancer in 2002.
1:13
You are made aware of the miss in 2004
1:15
and notify the insurer a PSS filed in 2008.
1:18
Would the claim be covered by a claims
1:21
made policy in 2004?
1:26
So it depends if you have a retroactive date
1:28
that covered the 2002 events,
1:32
because the policy is for claims made
1:37
in 2004,
1:40
or claims made in 2008 rather than
1:44
when the actual incident occurred.
1:48
So you retire in 2 20 26, you had an occurrence policy
1:53
coverage from 2016 to 2026.
1:56
Would you be covered for an error made in 2025
1:59
that is discovered in follow-up in 2028
2:03
with your occurrence policy?
2:06
The answer is yes.
2:09
If you had a claims made policy from 2016 to 2026,
2:12
would you be covered for an error made in 2025
2:15
that is discovered in follow-up in 2028?
2:19
No, because you are not covered in 2028 for a claim
2:23
that's made in that year.
2:26
So what do you do with insurance? B?
2:28
Well, that's where you have the ability to have additional,
2:33
um, policy terms
2:37
after the time that the policy is expires.
2:42
So basic difference claims made policy period, knee surgery,
2:47
submit claims it's covered.
2:50
But if your policy period ends here
2:53
and the claim is made afterwards, you're not covered
2:57
as opposed to the occurrence policy that covers
3:00
what happened during the occurrence policy forever and ever.
