Personal Accident and Illness Insurance at Lloyd’s for doctors, dentists and key practice staff.
A Locum could cost you £2,000 per week (£104,000 per year). The insurance could cost you as little as £31.45 per week. Which would you
rather pay?
Accident or illness may prevent you from continuing in practice. You may need to hire a locum or compensate your partners if they deputise
for you.
As a self employed person, when you are ill, you stop earning but you do not stop spending. Locum insurance covers the income that you
could not earn, and allows you to maintain your lifestyle. Normally the partnership will cover for a sick colleague for 4 weeks. The burden after
4 weeks will fall upon the sick partner, at a time when he or she is least able to cope.
Your Health Authority may help if your list size is substantial. The maximum amount they may reimburse is £1,500 per week for full time cover
on a reducing basis but only if you hire a locum. Its availability is at the Health Authority’s discretion but no amount of clarification now will provide
any certainty for the future. We do not recommend you rely upon it.
To help you cope with the full cost burden, or to encourage your partners to help out, you need Locum Insurance.

This Locum Insurance is underwritten by certain Underwriters at Lloyd’s. It is an annually renewable Accident and Illness insurance, designed
to provide a weekly income. The outline of cover in this web site is for information only, and a full certificate wording is available on request.
The certificate is renewable annually with no evidence of health condition required, except where an individual has made a claim during the
preceding 12 months.
If a member is unable to work through accident or illness, the Underwriters at Lloyd’s will pay the full weekly benefit, after the deferred period,
for up to 52 weeks. A member has up to 15 months during which he or she can begin the claim, after the accident or illness first declares itself.
If a member returns to work after a period of claim, and was subsequently unable to work through accident or illness, the deferred period would
not apply to the second or subsequent claim, in respect of the same accident or illness, unless at least 13 weeks continuous period of work had
taken place between claims.
