Combating the Opiate Abuse Epidemic with Insurance

welcome to florida road sign

As we gear up for the Presidential Election, one recurring issue on the campaign trail from both sides has beenwhat to do to combat the opiate abuse epidemicthat has virtually spread its tentacles to all 50 states. Drug overdoses has rapidly become the leading cause of death in young people in over 40 states, surpassing car accidents.
Unofficially known as the “Treatment Center Capital of the World,” Delray Beach and the rest of South Florida draws much attention, both positive and negative due to this fact. With an influx of business to this area and health insurers bossing the market, owners of these behavioral healthcare facilities are looking for ways to set them apart by increasing value while cutting the bottom line. Furthermore, it is imperative to keep in mind the stringent insurance requirements set forth by the Department of Children and Familiesand theJoint Commission.
One such way to accomplish this is tohand over the task to PGI.Behavioral Healthcare is a niche area of expertise for PGI’s South Florida Branch. General and professional liability, property and commercial auto are extremely touchy lines of business in this industry where certain limits are not only suggested by our expert team, but required by law. Without proper coverage through one of PGI’s specialty markets,just one incident can turn into a lawsuit and shut your business down over night. Don’t be a victim of complacency-take action by letting PGI act on your behalf!
