Property / Business Interruption Insurance:
SWG Healthcare’s Property Insurance covers “All Risks” of direct physical loss or damage to buildings and other contents for which the insured is responsible. This is provided on a replacement cost basis, with no co-insurance penalty. Additionally, it covers related extra expenses incurred to continue operations following the loss or damage to the property and loss of business income due to interruption caused by an insured peril.
Machinery Breakdown Insurance:

This coverage ensures that your client’s medispas practice is safeguarded against potential liabilities arising from your day-to-day operations, giving them peace of mind, and allowing them to focus on delivering exceptional care to their patients.
Professional Liability (Medical Malpractice):
Professional Liability Insurance is a critical component of our SWG Healthcare: Medispas product, designed to protect healthcare professionals from claims arising from their professional services. This coverage, also known as Medical Malpractice Insurance, is tailored to meet the unique risks medispas face, ensuring comprehensive protection for their practice.
Regulatory Challenges:
In recent years, the medispa industry has seen a rise in certification requirements for employees and stricter instrument warranties. Accrediting bodies, such as the Canadian Association of Medical Spas and Aesthetic Surgeons, are enforcing higher standards. Alongside this, the industry is expanding with more facilities to oversee qualified professionals. Various positions, including estheticians, massage therapists, and spa directors, now require specialized certifications. Therefore, insurance brokers must secure comprehensive coverage for their medispa clients to protect against the increased risks associated with these heightened standards and the growing industry. Ensuring great coverage will not only safeguard the medispas but also support their commitment to excellence and compliance.
With SWG Healthcare: Medispas, you can rest assured that your client’s healthcare practice or facility is comprehensively protected. This innovative insurance solution is designed to cover all critical aspects of their operations, allowing your client to focus on what matters most.
