Time’s Running Out to Renew Your Excess Coverage
Time is running out to renew your excess coverage! If you are an existing customer, the renewal period is open until June 30th, 2024. If you are a new customer, applications can be submitted until July 31st, 2024.
By customer request, CLIA’s Voluntary Excess Program (VEP) now offers the flexibility of additional coverage limits, extending up to $35 million per claim, with an annual aggregate limit of $35 million. Coverage options under the VEP include limits of $1 million, $2 million, $3 million, $4 million, $6.5 million, $9 million, $14 million, $19 million, $24 million, $29 million, and $34 million, in excess of a $1 million base. See our Excess Insurance page for an overview of the program and for information to help you determine if you need excess coverage.
In addition, CLIA continues to offer a stand-alone cyber insurance product with higher limits than the cyber coverage we offer with the mandatory insurance. The stand-alone cyber insurance can be purchased in conjunction with the excess liability coverage or on its own. See Cyber Insurance Overview materials for more information.
