Early reporting is the key to a favorable outcome

When a troubling incident occurs at your senior living community, we need to hear about it. The best chance to see a favorable difference in the cost of a claim and the outcome of an incident is by reporting the incident within the first hours. We’ll mobilize our expert resources to your defense. We can help you communicate with the family, investigate the incident, and assemble documentation for state and local authorities.

Remember—we’re on your side! HealthCap members have fewer claims than the rest of the industry and when our members do have a claim, HealthCap settles them for much less than the industry. Early reporting is a key component to our success and to saving you money.
