CBG Group – the independent insurance broker and financial services intermediary – has launched a specialist division as part of an ambitious drive into the healthcare provider market. PALM – a standalone division – will offer specialist cover to corporate healthcare organisations for all professional liabilities. This includes medical malpractice, which is an area often avoided by many insurers.

The PALM product suite has been designed to protect all types of corporate healthcare organisations, including clinics, private hospitals, fertility centres, diagnostic and imaging services and independent primary care providers. It is applicable to all sizes of business – from sole traders to large complex enterprises.

All PALM products will meet contractual insurance conditions required by commissioning NHS bodies, including stipulated high aggregate limits of indemnity and the need for the provider to indemnify the service's commissioner.
