Ethos works with all the key carriers specialized in the healthcare liability marketplace. However, there are always other carriers that may have an appetite for healthcare accounts but struggle to compete with more specialized carriers. When new carriers enter the healthcare liability arena, we are careful to vet them out and add them if they are likely to provide a benefit for our customers.
If there is a particular carrier missing from our list that you have questions about we would like to encourage you to contact us so that we can discuss if the carrier is missing in error, or otherwise discuss the circumstances for their omission.
While we're working on a self-service tool to help you select the best application for your particular opportunity, we invite you to contact us directly and an Ethos team member will happily help you find the correct application.
Every submission should include an application and no fewer than 5 years of loss/claims history (aka: loss runs). There are many specialized applications or supplemental applications that address the particular details of certain classes of business. Additional info may also be necessary to complete a submission: CVs (Curriculum Vitae); financials; copies of contracts and licenses, to name a few.
