Before you sign a business associate agreement, we get cyber and tech quotes through brokers and compare them with you on more than price. - Contract commitments checked against cyber and tech E&O - Provider security questionnaires answered with your policies - Keep your broker or switch, with no commissions on premiums [Get Started](https://app.spot.insure/signup?coverage=technology-errors-omissions&industry=healthcare-it&icp=startups). Spot is not an insurance carrier and takes no commissions on premiums; you can keep your broker or switch. ## How Spot helps 1. **List your data, vendors and service promises.** Your Spot team lists each customer entity, vendor and data flow, along with every uptime, backup, data-return and security commitment in your service agreements. 2. **Read the BAA and security addendum.** Send the customer’s business associate agreement or security addendum. Spot compares its notice duties and requirements with your cyber and tech E&O terms and flags the gaps before you sign. 3. **Make sure cyber and tech E&O fit together.** When brokers bring back proposals, Spot asks which terms address your own incident costs and which address claims about your software, so the two policies fit together. 4. **Get answers for your next security review.** Ask the Spot agent what your cyber policy says about vendor-held data, or message your Spot team in Slack when a provider’s procurement team needs proof of insurance. ## Who we help - **EHR, scheduling and billing software.** Providers run records, appointments or revenue on your product and can bring a claim if it fails. - **Cloud and data infrastructure vendors.** Maintaining ePHI for a covered entity can make you a business associate even when the data is encrypted. - **Patient-facing apps sold to providers.** Your service sits between a provider and their patients, with data and uptime promises in both directions. If clinicians deliver care through your product, telehealth coverage belongs in the conversation too. - **Implementation and support teams.** Your staff install and support systems at care sites, which adds customer-site and third-party property exposures to the software itself. ## Coverage - [Technology errors and omissions (E&O)](https://spot.insure/insurance/technology-errors-omissions) - [Cyber liability](https://spot.insure/insurance/cyber) - [General liability](https://spot.insure/insurance/general-liability) - [Commercial property](https://spot.insure/insurance/commercial-property) - [Virtual care and telehealth](https://spot.insure/insurance/virtual-care-telehealth) ## When to get this coverage - **A provider sent a business associate agreement.** Map the data you’ll handle and compare its notice and response duties with your cyber terms. - **You’re committing to an uptime SLA.** Ask how tech E&O treats a claim that an outage disrupted a customer’s workflow. - **You’re adding a clinical feature or cloud vendor.** A change in the ePHI you handle or who hosts it can change your application. Review it before launch. - **Your team installs systems at care sites.** Check that general liability lists customer sites, installation work and third-party property. ## Common questions Also known as healthtech insurance, health tech insurance, digital health insurance, health IT insurance and healthcare software insurance. ### What insurance does a digital health company need? Cyber and tech E&O usually lead, because hospitals and health plans ask for both in their contracts. Add general liability and property for your team and office, and virtual care coverage if clinicians see patients through your platform. Spot maps each to your agreements. ### Does signing a BAA mean our insurance covers a breach? No. A business associate agreement sets responsibilities between you and the customer. Your cyber policy’s terms decide what’s covered. ### What’s the difference between cyber and tech E&O for us? Cyber addresses data incidents and their costs; tech E&O addresses claims that your software service failed. Spot maps each scenario to the exact terms rather than treating the names as interchangeable. ### Are we a business associate if the data is encrypted? You can be. Under HHS guidance, a cloud provider that maintains ePHI for a covered entity can be a business associate even when the data is encrypted. ### Which contracts and data maps should we gather? Gather your customer contracts, data flows, vendors, service levels and office or equipment locations. Your Spot team writes the submission from them. ### Can our current broker still place our cyber and tech E&O? Yes. Spot works alongside your broker, doesn’t replace them and takes no commissions on premiums. If they rarely place health tech business, you can switch to a broker who does. ## More - [Business Insurance by Industry](https://spot.insure/insurance-for) ## Agent and Developer Resources - [Markdown page](https://spot.insure/insurance-for/healthcare-it.md) - [Developer resources](https://spot.insure/developers) - [Public MCP server](https://spot.insure/mcp) - [MCP server manifest](https://spot.insure/server.json) - [OpenAPI description](https://spot.insure/openapi.json) - [Public page index](https://spot.insure/llms.txt)
