Insurance provider Hartford Financial Services Group of Hartford, CT, has launched an insurance package designed to cover contingencies involved in the ownership and operation of high-end medical imaging equipment.
The package covers issues like mechanical breakdown, loss of income and extra expenses while equipment is being repaired or replaced, coverage for computer equipment losses caused by physical damage or site-control systems, and coverage for media and data in situations such as recreating lost data or repeating diagnostic procedures due to damaged computer equipment.
Hartford said it was launching the new policy to respond to the additional insurance-risk exposure involved in operating high-end equipment like MRI scanners, which have proliferated in the past 20 years.
