Ironshore said its Mergers & Acquisitions and Tax unit updated its transactional liability product to address regulatory risks in the healthcare sector.

There is now a single limit and single retention coverage policy to meet client demand for streamlined liability coverage for healthcare transactions. Capacity limits of up to $100 million are available for transactional liability risks, with extended limits for select circumstances, Ironshore said.

Ironshore’s M&A transactional liability coverage responds to breaches of representations and warranties to protect buyers in healthcare deals, including exposure related to the Federal False Claims Act, Stark Law, Anti-Kickback Statute, HIPAA/HITECH and other state-mandated healthcare laws. Comprehensive coverage for healthcare regulatory risk benefits insureds receiving a high percentage of revenue from government payers, including Medicare and Medicaid.

Ironshore’s M&A and Tax unit has leveraged the organizational expertise of IronHealth, the specialty healthcare unit, to underwrite healthcare transactions directly with a combined single limit agreement and retention level.
