DIRECT ACCESS

We give clients a complete and unbiased look at the insurance markets — typically handling our business direct, without the use of wholesalers. Not only does this approach eliminate the additional fees associated with wholesalers, but it also improves communication with underwriters and ultimately improves cost. Contract negotiation issues are critical for contract research facilities. Our life sciences professionals will facilitate meetings with underwriters and their contract specialists to improve the turnaround for these issues.

BEST PRACTICES

AHT implements best practices for clinical trials, professional services, contracts, safety surveillance, sales and marketing and risk management and loss control. The rewards of this process are more effective defense, preservation of reputation and minimized distractions to management. From an insurance perspective, higher limits are often more readily available and terms and conditions are improved. This overall approach reduces insurance premiums for our clients.

RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT

There are often many third parties that have a say in how you do business, from regulatory bodies to vendors, hospitals, investigators and third-party manufacturers. AHT understands these contractual relationships and helps our clients navigate insurance and indemnification agreements. We’ll provide you with an in-house claims manager who will facilitate the claims process and work as an advocate on your behalf.

Clinical Trials Liability

As a critical yet complex form of insurance, Clinical Trial Liability is a necessity in the clinical research process. While extensive preparation and thorough research may present a trial as foolproof, clinical trials still present the risk of bodily injury as well as overarching financial and reputational risk.

Life Science companies also have a unique risk evolution and the insurance response grows more complex as the product nears completion. From the R&D lab to Phase 1, 2, 3 to regulatory approval to product launch – we are there to assist your organization and provide tailored risk management services throughout.

Global Reach

AHT is partnered with TechAssure – the international network of technology-related risk experts. Through this partnership, we are able to align your clinical trials insurance program with trusted partners throughout the world.

Top-Tier Carrier Partners

Insuring clinical trials is not easy and not all companies provide an end-to-end solution. We partner with the leading carriers in the space and have access to senior level underwriters and executives to assist in best-in-class program design.
