HealthCap® Manages Liability Claims Better than the Competition

How does HealthCap achieve such great claim results, year after year? Two reasons: early intervention and expert trial attorneys. First, we intervene early in the lifecycle of a claim, mobilizing powerful resources in managing the incident. Next, if we go to trial, we bring our national trial counsel, attorneys with a proven track record of success. Since 2001, HealthCap has consistently beaten the industry in the two major measures of claim performance: severity of claims, and frequency of claims. What does that mean for you? Lower ongoing costs, fewer disruptions to your operations, and preservation of your reputation.
