Since that post was published, another natural disaster of overwhelming magnitude has occurred. The devastating fires in California have left a huge footprint of death and total destruction. It is painful to even try to imagine what it would be like to own a dental practice in that region. This unfortunate event reinforces once again the need to have adequate protection for your business.<\/p>\n<p>Of course there has to be a balance between overhead management and risk management. These policies come with a substantial cost. In doing my research for these posts, I spoke to many insurance professionals and visited many websites. The more I delved into this topic, the more I realized its complexity. The state where you practice, the age of your office building, the type of construction, square footage, building and personal property values, and a host of other factors will influence the cost and the availability of coverage.<\/p>\n<p>I came away with some absolutes. First, there is a significant dollar savings in purchasing combined coverages in packaged policies versus individual stand alone products. Second, working with insurance professionals who have specific expertise for dental practices is a must. I would feel comfortable recommending two excellent companies for your consideration.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.risk-strategies.com\/\">Risk Strategies Company<\/a> \u2013 Their health care practice is one of the largest in the country and gives you access to specialists with industry experience in large brokerages, consultancies, and insurance companies.
