[Get Started](https://app.spot.insure/signup?coverage=professional-errors-omissions&industry=diagnostics&icp=healthcare). Spot is not an insurance carrier and takes no commissions on premiums; you can keep your broker or switch.

## How Spot helps

1. **Tell us what your lab does and sells.** Your Spot team records whether you test, report patient-specific results, interpret findings, manufacture an assay or do several of these, with each product’s intended use.
2. **Compare quotes on testing errors and device claims.** With proposals back from the market, Spot asks how each one treats a testing error, an interpretation dispute and a claim about the device itself.
3. **Check provider contracts.** When a provider customer sends a business associate agreement or insurance requirement, Spot checks it against your cyber and liability terms and flags the gaps.

## Who we help

- **Clinical and testing labs.** You analyze specimens, report results and sometimes interpret findings for providers, employers or consumers.
- **Assay and instrument makers.** You sell an in vitro diagnostic with a specific intended use, and a claim may involve the product itself.
- **Labs that also sell tests.** One part of the business runs testing while another develops products, and each needs its own description.
- **Labs working with provider data.** Results flow through a provider’s systems, which can make you a business associate depending on the service and data involved.

## Coverage

- [Professional errors and omissions (E&O)](https://spot.insure/insurance/professional-errors-omissions)
- [Product liability](https://spot.insure/insurance/product-liability)
- [Cyber liability](https://spot.insure/insurance/cyber)

## When to get this coverage

- **You’re adding a provider customer.** Map who receives, maintains and transmits results. Business associate status depends on the service and the data relationship.
- **You’re launching a test product.** List the product, intended use, sales territory and stage separately from the lab service.
- **You’re expanding the lab.** Add the new site, analyzers and freezers to the property schedule with their locations, values and uses.
- **A freezer failure would ruin work in progress.** Ask whether breakdown terms name the machine and cover resulting property damage or interruption costs.

## Common questions

Also known as lab insurance, laboratory insurance, clinical lab insurance, medical lab insurance, diagnostic company insurance and diagnostic laboratory insurance.

### What does clinical lab insurance usually include?

A testing service usually needs professional liability for its results, cyber for patient data, property for the lab and equipment breakdown for analyzers. Sell an assay or instrument and product liability joins the list. Spot quotes each by role.

### Should we describe the lab and the diagnostic product separately?

Yes. A lab may perform testing while another part of the business sells an assay or instrument. Spot lists the service and each product on their own.

### Does a CLIA certificate tell us what insurance to buy?

No. CLIA governs laboratory testing and certificates. It helps describe your operations, but the policy terms decide what’s covered.

### Does malpractice insurance cover a lab?

Medical professional liability is written for licensed health professionals, and whether your lab entity qualifies depends on the proposal. Your Spot team asks brokers how they treat testing and interpretation.

### Which lab records do brokers need for a quote?

Your services, products and intended uses, sites, equipment values, provider contracts and data flows. We build the submission from there.

### Our broker placed the lab’s coverage. Can they handle the product side too?

Spot works alongside your broker on both and takes no commissions on premiums. Product liability for diagnostic devices is a narrower market, so if your broker can’t reach it, we can help you find one who can.
