Simple protection for your overhead expenses.

Professional Overhead Expense Insurance provides physicians with coverage for fixed monthly business expenses.

If you can’t work, can your practice run without you?

If you’re recovering from an illness or accident, you can’t run your business and satisfy your financial obligations.

Professional Overhead Expense coverage from OMA Insurance helps reimburse many of the expenses that come with running your practice — while you take the time you need to recover from a disability.
