Overview of the Program from AFC Insurance Inc.
AFC Insurance Inc. offers a targeted program for agents placing Early Intervention Development Programs. As a program administrator, AFC works with multiple carrier markets (varies by account) to provide flexible package and standalone solutions tailored to the exposures of early childhood development and home- or community-based therapy programs. This program is intended for professional providers that deliver supervised developmental services to children and that need combined general liability, professional liability and optional property/auto protection.
Ideal Accounts and Appetite
- Small to mid-sized early intervention centers and child development programs
- Home & community based service providers offering motor and cognitive skills therapy
- Programs that use volunteers or independent contractors (endorsement options available)
- Organizations seeking tailored liability programs with optional key employee replacement and abuse & molestation coverages
Accounts that typically do NOT fit: large institutional providers with high-severity loss histories, programs with unlicensed or unmanaged clinical operations, or operations with complex transportation fleets (auto coverage has restrictions). Final appetite is carrier-dependent.
Coverage Highlights and Advantages
- Package policies combining General & Professional Liability to address both general liability and allegations arising from professional services.
- Coverage endorsements and enhancements, including Volunteers & Independent Contractors as Insureds — useful for programs that rely on part-time staff or contracted therapists.
- Optional Key Employee Replacement Endorsement to help cover temporary staffing costs after a covered loss to a key staff member.
- Optional Extended Coverage Endorsement with Blanket Additional Insured available for contracts and facility relationships.
- Umbrella/excess capacity and Property coverage where exposures warrant it; Auto coverage available with some restrictions.
- Abuse & Molestation coverage available as an option — important for child-focused programs.
Underwriting Notes and Minimum Premiums
Underwriting is completed by AFC Insurance Inc. in coordination with carrier partners. Carriers and terms vary by state and account characteristics.
