Health Care Insurance Recovery and Counseling

Overview

Crowell & Moring’s Insurance Recovery practice has secured more than $1 billion in insurance recoveries for health care clients, reflecting both the depth of our industry knowledge and the strength of our advocacy.

In today’s complex health care and managed care environment, organizations face significant challenges when it comes to insurance coverage and risk management. Partnering with experienced insurance recovery lawyers is critical to protecting your business interests, maximizing recoveries, and enabling your team to achieve the best possible outcomes.

Nationally recognized for their work, our lawyers bring unmatched experience in the health care and managed care industries. We combine a deep understanding of the market with creativity, determination, and a proven record of success. Our approach is client-focused: Our team listens first, then applies our insight and skill to craft solutions tailored to your needs.

Whether navigating a complex coverage dispute, pursuing recovery from insurers, or advising on proactive risk management strategies, we are trusted partners committed to delivering results.

Our services include:  

  • Comprehensive Coverage Analysis. We help health care and managed care organizations identify gaps, pitfalls, and opportunities across the full range of policies, including E&O, professional liability, D&O, cyber/data privacy (first- and third-party), fiduciary liability, EPLI, fidelity bonds, general liability, employee benefits liability, reinsurance, stop-loss, and others. Many programs involve bespoke structures, such as fronting arrangements and captive insurers. We work closely with your brokers to evaluate existing programs — whether first-party, third-party, reinsurance, or captive — and recommend enhancements aligned with your operational risks and regulatory environment.
  • Policy Placement and Renewal Support. Insurance renewals provide a critical opportunity to strengthen your coverage. We collaborate with you and your brokers to negotiate favorable terms, address exclusions that pose outsized risk to health care entities, and position your business for maximum recovery on future claims.
  • Strategic Claims Management. When a claim arises, whether related to litigation, regulatory investigations, data breaches, or contractual indemnities, we guide you through every step. From providing timely notice to preparing robust submissions and negotiating with insurers, we work to overcome denials, exclusions, and delays. Our insurance recovery team takes pride in its strong track record of persuading insurers to extend coverage even in ambiguous situations.  
  • Litigation and Arbitration. Disputes with insurers are common in the health care sector, particularly around defense costs, coverage for government inquiries, and policy compliance. Our nationally recognized health care litigators have successfully represented managed care and health care clients in courts and arbitration forums across the country, achieving favorable results even in complex disputes.
  • Risk Management and Cost Efficiency. Every dollar invested in insurance should deliver value. We provide ongoing counseling to optimize risk management strategies, align insurance programs with evolving health care regulations, and ensure resources are spent wisely so your coverage responds when your organization needs it most.
