Insurance Noodle Launches Integrated Facility for Allied Health Services Product Lines

CHICAGO, Sept. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Insurance Noodle today announced the launch of the first-ever integrated facility for allied health services across the United States, bringing together the power of several leading markets via a single online access point.  By accessing Insurance Noodle's proprietary technology platform, agents can simultaneously market an account to all available carriers and receive accurate quotes within 10 minutes.

"We're excited about the allied health launch," said Insurance Noodle CEO Ted Devine. "The demand for healthcare practitioners is growing tremendously, and now our agents can find coverage for those practitioners." He noted that Insurance Noodle's platform improves upon the traditional model, opening multiple markets from a single platform, rather than restricting agents to a single market with a limited scope.

Insurance Noodle has partnered with A.M. Best-rated carriers to deliver the best products the marketplace has to offer in the expanding allied health category. The offering is designed primarily for Professional Liability (Malpractice), General Liability, Cyber Liability, and Workers' Compensation.  Target classes include a full array of healthcare professions, including surgical centers, doctor and dentist offices, audiologists, chiropractors, and physical therapists. 

Currently, there are 2.3 million small healthcare and social assistance businesses in the United States with fewer than 10 employees. And the Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that this industry will see significant growth between now and 2022. Some of the fastest-growing occupations by percentage of projected growth are…

• Diagnostic medical sonographers, 46 percent.
• Occupational therapist assistants, 42.6 percent.
• Genetic counselors, 41.2 percent.
• Physical therapist assistants, 38.4 percent

Ralph Blust, President of Insurance Noodle, noted, "The Affordable Care Act has generated an influx of newly insured individuals seeking medical care of all kinds. The increased demand will create growth opportunities in the industry that independent agents can capitalize on, and our platform makes it easier than ever for them to do so."
