Group Dental Forms for Security Patrol Companies

The Group Dental form options Security Patrol Companies can choose from

How Security Patrol Companies should think about occurrence vs claims-made coverage

Occurrence and claims-made are two different ways an Group Dental policy "triggers" — meaning, decides whether a claim is covered.

• Occurrence: the policy responds to claims arising from events during the policy period, regardless of when the claim is filed. A claim filed 5 years after the event is still covered by the policy in effect when the event occurred.
• Claims-made: the policy responds to claims filed during the policy period (regardless of when the event occurred), provided the event happened after the retroactive date. The policy must remain in force for coverage to apply.

For Security Patrol Companies on workforce provider risks, occurrence is generally preferred for liability lines because losses can take years to surface. Claims-made requires careful retroactive date and tail coverage management.
