Under a claims-made insurance policy, for which claim is the nurse protected?
1. Claims that were filed before the insurance coverage became active
2. Claims that are filed for incidents during the active period of the policy
3. Claims filed within a 30-day grace period before or after policy times
4. Claims for all future events, whether the policy is active at that time or not
2
Rationale: Claims-made policies provide coverage only if the claim for an injury that has occurred is filed with the courts and is reported to the insurance company during the active policy period or during an uninterrupted extension of that policy period. The policy would not cover claims that were filed prior to the coverage being activated or for future events outside the policy times, whether they are filed within 30 days or not.
