Zurich Block Wording

Who are Balens?

  • Ø Balens are a well established, fourth generation family-run business which has been built on solid roots going back to 1950, and we have grown during that time to its’ present size mainly through recommendation, not acquisition or private funding!
  • Ø We are Pioneers in the development of top quality cover for all types of Health Professional with special rates and industry leading cover and have been developing and improving our range for over 21 years in this speciality –often copied, never bettered! We also specialise in Charities and not for profit organisations.
  • Ø When you deal with Balens you will receive expert advice and claims service from the largest independent health professional specialist Brokers in the UK and Ireland, backed up by state of the art admin technology.
  • Ø Our unique quality wordings are designed by us and not available elsewhere and are always evolving.
  • Ø We offer consultancy and a Personal Approach in these days of growing impersonality and aim to offer a friendly, listening approach to our clients’ needs. Our slogan “we care for the Carers” describes this intention, and is a good reflection of how we operate. We have been ethically dedicated to Natural Medicine for many years.
  •  We are flexible and design our procedures around the client and not the other way round! We are an ethical company with 38 staff dedicated to customer care and are not solely motivated by profit.

What can we offer you?

  • Ø We are Market Leaders in development and improvement of wordings for Health Professionals. Our policy wordings are, in our opinion, the widest available on the market and include important features that other cheaper insurance packages on the market may not include. Premiums are extremely competitive.
  • Ø We can include cover for various types of Comprehensive Insurance solutions for all kinds of Complementary Therapists, Medical Auxilliary Professionals, Health-related Businesses, Organisations, Beauty Therapy Professionals and many other Health Professionals on an individual basis or corporate arrangement.
  • Ø All types of Insurance packages designed especially for charities and not for profit organisations
  • Ø We offer a “One–stop” solution for your other Insurance requirements. Check out our check list!
  • Ø We offer Sympathetic and expert help in event of an incident occurring from specialist intermediaries. Our experience in helping lift the burden and giving skilled advice to avoid problems when we are advised of a possible claim circumstance is second to none, and we would place this feature above all others.  At the time when you need it most, and when you feel vulnerable, we are there to support you. Our approach is different in that we will help you deal with these initially without resort to solicitors, and our Insurers will not just pay a claim quickly to reduce their costs, as can easily happen.  Practitioners want their version of a case to be considered. Their reputation, and of course the reputation of the Therapy, could be affected as a result of claims paid for as a matter of expediency.  We spend as long as it takes on the phone with you to help you through crises.
  • Ø Many well-known and respected organisations use our services. David Balen is an advisor to Professional Bodies on Insurance and Practice Management Issues, and lectures and writes articles for journals regularly.
  • Ø Complementary / Alternative Medicine: – We can cover almost 3000 therapies from lower risk therapies such as Healing to higher risk therapies such as Acupuncture / Osteopathy / Chiropractic / Colonic Hydrotherapy etc.

Key Points- Policy Cover

 

Balens have specialised in Health Professionals for over 21 years, and understand what they do and how to protect them. Our experience and marketing power has enabled us to partner with a major Insurer and provide you with unrivalled protection for your therapeutic or consulting work. This is an exclusive newly designed wording and is only available through Balens

Suitability Statement and Statement of Demands and Needs

As a Health Professional you can be held legally liable for loss or damage to other people’s property, injury or other harm,  financial loss alleged to have been caused to your clients or patients, or other parties.  This policy will meet that need and provide defence and payment of damages for the above, as well as covering other risks and offering various services as well.

 

The Insurer for this Policy is the Zurich Insurance plc

We have chosen this insurer as Balens have designed an exclusive specially improved policy wording with them, which includes greater security in the event of you discontinuing cover as well as other advantages. They are a diversified global insurer and financially very secure, which gives long term security of cover. Please refer to the full policy wording which is available on request from Balens or on our website, www.balen.co.uk.

The policy is on a Claims Occurring Basis, but with a unique difference!

The policy is on a Claims Occurring basis. Balens have managed to include all the benefits of a Claims Made policy and combined it with a Claims Occurring policy thus removing the disadvantages that both usually have!

 

What does the policy cover?

  • Ø The Cover is £4,000,000 or £6,000,000  per section, any one claim, with unlimited number of claims in the year, plus unlimited defence costs are covered in addition. There is no excess.
  • Ø Wide definition of cover is clear and is not restricted to treatment only. Cover includes Medical Malpractice, Professional Indemnity, Public / Products Liability (claims in this section do not reduce the amount covered for other sections of the policy as is normally the case in other policies) and Products Liability (provided for unlimited sales to clients and for up to £30,000 sale to non-clients).
  • Ø Teaching and Student Work cover (running a school can be covered separately).
  • Ø Includes Libel and Slander cover.
  • Ø All premiums include full malpractice retroactive cover for previously insured work performed (Doesn’t include the DAS package).
  • Ø Loss of Reputation expenses to help repair damage to your business in event of  a claim against you
  • Ø Breach of Intellectual Property, Client Confidentiality Protection cover,
  • Ø Temporary Trips abroad are covered without a time limit (ex USA and Canada). Ex-UK Domiciles may be covered upon request
  • Ø Loss of Documents cover included £50,000
  • Ø First Aid cover as well as Good Samaritan Acts.
  • Ø Run off on cessation of cover or practice is included whether your scheme stays with this insurer or not at no charge whatsoever! There are no restrictions or conditions. This is a Major improvement on what is often available through other insurers. (Doesn’t include the DAS package for unlimited run off as it is a different kind of policy).
  • Ø We include an upgrade of cover feature on Zurich Policy that protects you against the effects of inflation and rising court awards – this cover is a pioneering hybrid offering the advantages of a claims occurrence policy with features normally only found on a claims made policy, but with none of the disadvantages, particularly around the issue of discontinuing cover and possibly being uninsured later on if a claim is discovered.  Many wordings give conditional “unlimited” or time restricted run off cover if you cease the policy at any time.
  • Ø Includes Disciplinary Hearings cover, plus Pre disciplinary hearing legal advice up to £1000.
  • Ø Students can be covered for all work prior to qualification, subject to adequate supervision and safeguards
  • Ø Wide range of activities can be insured from the non-invasive to the more invasive types, as well as non treatment related work and advice – our definition of a “Health Professional “ or  “Health Business” and the various types of situation covered is extremely wide.
  • Ø Flexible underwriting to accommodate changes in your practice, fast turnaround of documents and queries
  • Ø  No additional charges for routine changes to cover or duplicate certificates
  • Ø There are many more features too numerous to mention here!!!

Also Included is a separate Legal and Taxation Policy Package through DAS

and covers Criminal Defence and other costs up to £100,000!

  • Ø Regretfully, the climate of litigation is still deteriorating, claims incidents criminal allegations including allegations of sexual impropriety or assault are, in our experience, on the increase.  For many years now, we have included our Legal Expenses Policy. The cover is generous and the exclusions few. Wide range of free 24 hour Advicelines, including Legal/Tax Advice,Counselling and business support services are included. Corporates with Employees need a different policy.
  • Ø Jury or Witness Service Compensation – for lost income as a result of having to attend.
  • Ø Defence of your legal rights involving Criminal Proceedings as well as Data Protection and other legislation cover, wrongful arrest, actions against you for unlawful discrimination etc.
  • Ø Negotiation and representation (including accountants fees) in event of Inland Revenue partial or full enquiry. Some accountants have been known to charge over £90 for this!
  • Ø Business Assistance Helpline for emergencies involving your premises.
  • Ø Disciplinary Hearings Defence and Legal Expenses if you lose your Statutory Licence to practise.
  • Ø Please note that Retroactive cover is not included for this element of the policy due to the specific nature of it. This is however available if required for an additional premium. Run-off is now included.

 

We have always regarded advice, quality cover and personal service as our main strengths, which in themselves can save time and money in the long term.  Our collective buying power ensures that you get the best value for money and a unique cover opportunity in this very specialised and limited marketplace.

Balen, Balens Ltd, 2 Nimrod House, Sandy’s Road, Malvern, Worcs, WR14 1JJ or by phone on Tel: 01684 893006 and ask for Mr. Balen or email db@balen.co.uk. When dealing with your complaint we will follow our complaint handling procedure; a copy of which is available on request.

We are covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). You may be entitled to compensation from the scheme if we cannot meet our obligations. This depends on the type of business and the circumstances of the claim. Insurance advising and arranging is covered for 90% of the claim, without any upper limit.

Further information about compensation scheme arrangements is available from the FSCS on 020 78927300 or www.fscs.org.uk.

Payment for our Services

 

In addition to the premiums charged by Insurers, we normally receive commission from the Insurers or product providers, details of which are available on request, and make charges for handling your insurance. You will receive a quotation, which will tell you the total price to be paid, showing any fees, taxes and charges separately from the premium, before your insurance arrangements are concluded. We also draw your attention to the sections headed Cancellation of Insurances and Ending your Relationship with us. If in error, any of our clients overpay their insurance by less than £3 or €4, the overpayment will be donated to the Balens Family Health & Wellbeing Trust. Any overpayments of £3 (€4) or more will be refunded to the insured by the same method as the initial payment received. If you would prefer refunds of less than £3 (€4) to be paid to you or you wish to know more about our Charitable Trust, please contact us.

 

Handling Money 

Our financial arrangements with most insurance companies are on a ‘Risk Transfer’ basis.  This means that we act as agents of the Insurer in collecting premiums and handling refunds due to clients.  In these circumstances such monies are deemed to be held by the Insurer(s) with which your insurance is arranged.  You will be notified if Risk Transfer does not apply and such monies will then be held by us in a Non-Statutory Trust account pending payment.  The establishment of the Non-Statutory Trust account follows the rules which the FCA introduced to protect money held by authorised intermediaries.  However, you should be aware that, under the Non-Statutory Trust account rules, we are permitted to use such monies temporarily held to advance credit to clients generally.  A copy of the Deed of Trust is available on request or may be inspected at our premises during normal office hours.  If you object to your money being held in a Non-Statutory Trust account you should advise us immediately.  Otherwise, your agreement to pay the premium together with your acceptance of these Terms of Business will constitute your informed consent to our holding your money in a Non-Statutory Trust account.  Interest earned on monies held in such a Non-Statutory Trust account will be retained by us. For the purpose of some transactions, client money may pass through other authorised intermediaries before being paid to the insurer.

 

Cancellation of Insurances

 

You should make any request for the cancellation of a policy in writing and any relevant certificate of insurance must be returned to us.  You are entitled to cancel the policy within 14 days from the day after the day of conclusion of the contract (30 days for Income Protection policies).  You will be charged for reasonable costs incurred in relation to the cover and services provided.  Cancellation by you in other circumstances may result in enhanced, short-period charges as determined by us and/or the product provider. Any refunds of less than £3 or €4 will be donated to the Balens Family Health & Wellbeing Trust, if you require more information concerning this please contact us.  You should also be aware that, in certain circumstances according to the terms of the policy, Insurers may be entitled to cancel your policy and allow a proportionate return of premium.  This does not apply to short term policies of less than one month’s duration such as commercial risks, also many of our specialist Malpractice and Professional Indemnity policies do not have a return of premium available. If you allow your insurance policy to lapse we may not be able to reinstate the policy incorporating previous terms, conditions or at the same costing.

 

 

 

 

Ending our Relationship

 

You may terminate our authority to act on your behalf with 14 days notice (30 days notice with regard to Income Protection) or as otherwise agreed without penalty. Notice of this termination must be given in writing and will take effect from the date of receipt. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, if our relationship ends, any transactions previously initiated will be completed according to these Terms of Business. You will be liable to pay for any transactions concluded prior to the end of our relationship and we will be entitled to retain commission received for conducting these transactions, together with all fees charged by us for services provided.  In circumstances where we feel we cannot continue providing services to you, we will give you a minimum of 7 days notice.

 

Your Responsibilities

 

You are responsible for answering any questions or assumptions you may agree to honestly and to the best of your knowledge, providing the complete and accurate information which insurers require in connection with any proposal for insurance cover. This is particularly important before taking out a policy but also at renewal or if you make a mid-term amendment to your policy. If you fail to disclose information, or misrepresent any fact which may influence the insurer’s decision to accept the risk or the terms offered, this could invalidate the policy and mean that claims may not be paid in part or full. You must check all details on any proposal form or Statement of Facts and pay particular attention to any declaration you may be asked to sign. You must read all insurance documents issued to you and ensure that you are aware of the cover, limits and other terms that apply.  Particular attention should be paid to any warranties and conditions as failure to comply with them could invalidate your policy.  You must take note of the required procedures in the event of a claim, which will be stated in the policy documentation.  Generally, Insurers require immediate notification of a claim or circumstances that might lead to a claim.  You must inform us immediately of any changes in circumstances that may affect the services provided by us or the cover provided by your policy.   If you are unsure about any matter, please contact us for guidance. Changes of Circumstances Notification -You must notify us in writing if there are any changes since originally completing your proposal form or other relevant documentation, as this could have a bearing on your cover.  We undertake to notify this to your Insurers and supply appropriate documentation for the alteration.

In administering your insurances and/or claims it will be necessary for us to pass such information to insurers and other product or service providers or your professional body/training school, these parties maybe inside or outside the European Economic Area. We may also disclose details to relevant parties, as necessary, to comply with regulatory or legal requirements. We will not otherwise use or disclose the personal information we hold without your consent.

We are happy to provide this service free of charge for as long as you are our client.

 

Claims Handling Arrangements

 

It is essential that we are notified immediately of any claims, or circumstances which could give rise to a claim.  When you notify us, you must include all material facts concerning the claim.  Your policy wordings will describe in detail the procedure and conditions in connection with making a claim.  In addition to providing a claims handling service we will:

  • Employ due care and skill if we act on your behalf in respect of a claim.
  • Give you guidance on pursuing a claim under the policy and, if required, negotiate with Insurers on your behalf.
  • Provide you with information about how to handle complaints and potential clashes between you and your clients.
  • Inform you in writing if we are unable to deal with any part of a claim.
  • Handle claims fairly and promptly and keep you informed of their progress.
  • Account to you, without avoidable delay, once a claim has been agreed and settled.

Settlement of claims will be dependent upon collection from insurers.  Part payment may be made during the collection process, but we cannot be responsible for the wrongful non-payment or delay by insurers in paying any claim. Claims information may be used by Balens or insurers concerned for underwriting, statistical analysis, management information, market research and risk management. Insurers may pass your claims information to the Claims and Underwriting Exchange Register, run by Insurance Database Services Ltd (IDSL) & the Association of British Insurers (ABI). Also, to prevent and detect fraud, insurers may share your claims information with the Police. We may also share your claims information with any association or professional body that you are a member of.

 

Quotation Validity Period

 

There is usually a 15 or 30 day validity period after which it will be necessary to re-quote.  This will be stated in your quotation letter which you should refer to.  It will be necessary to sign a further declaration after a 30 day period has expired in order to go on cover or continue cover. Cover for previous work performed (retroactive cover) may not be included by Insurers if a gap has occurred between a previous policy and a new or renewal one.  Cover also needs to be provided after termination (run-off) on some of our specialised policies should you not take up a renewal from us, it is important to always refer to our instructions and information in this regard.
