CCA, AON Risk Services, NSO Team on Coverage

The Convenient Care Association (CCA) – an organization dedicated to strengthening and advancing this emerging model of health care – has aligned with Aon Risk Services (ARS) and Nurses Service Organization (NSO), divisions within Aon Corporation, to offer cost-effective access to quality professional liability insurance coverage and risk management resources.

“We’re excited to give our members access to the risk management expertise of ARS and NSO as well as flexible, cost-effective insurance solutions designed specifically for our market.” said Tine Hansen-Turton, executive director of the CCA.

For start-up and smaller organizations, NSO has developed a proprietary pricing program for professional liability coverage exclusively for CCA members. Coverage is provided through an admitted carrier with an A rating. For larger organizations, ARS will deploy its specialized convenient care centers brokerage practice to address the unique professional liability needs and exposures faced by more established CCA members.

"Together, ARS and NSO provide competitive professional liability insurance solutions for convenient care centers of any size – from a single nurse practitioner to the retail giants who employ hundreds,” said Michael Loughran, executive vice president of NSO. “As the largest provider of professional liability insurance to nurse practitioners, with over 25,000 insured, we have the experience as well as the capability to seamlessly transition small accounts as they merge or pursue accelerated growth.”

For organizations, ARS offers risk management consulting services tailored to the industry's unique strategic and operational challenges. For individuals, NSO offers NPs Continuing Education courses online. CEs purchased through NSO also qualify NPs for a 10% discount off their individual premium for the following three years.
