At ATP, our experts are solely focused on this unique healthcare sector every day. As a result, they have the expertise to identify what makes an addiction treatment provider a good long-term insurance client.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, our expert underwriters have identified a number of factors that help us accurately assess risk and coverage needs of various types of treatment providers. Following are some key factors for Opioid Treatment Providers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Low staff turnover rate<\/li>\n<li>Physical exams and biopsychosocial evaluations and documentations<\/li>\n<li>Toxicology screenings<\/li>\n<li>Adherence to SAMHSA\u2019s criteria for OTP standards of care, including unsupervised approved use (take-home) of medication<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While this list is in no way an all-inclusive one, these are the types of policies and procedures our underwriters evaluate and closely look at to determine whether your addiction treatment provider is a good risk for our insurance offerings. As a result, our experts in behavioral healthcare facilities can potentially help reduce your clients\u2019 exposure for new claims.<\/p>\n<p>What else raises a red flag for our underwriters?
