PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA — ESCO, a trusted provider of hearing device protection since 1989, is broadening its insurance offerings to include comprehensive solutions for business owners in the hearing healthcare industry. The new services include a business owner’s policy (BOP), workers’ compensation, and cyber security insurance, specifically designed to meet the needs of audiology and hearing healthcare practice owners.
“Since our inception 35 years ago, we have been committed to providing comprehensive hearing device protection. Expanding our insurance services to include business owners in the audiology and hearing healthcare sectors is a natural progression for our business model and team”
–Jim Guthier, owner of ESCO
In partnership with AmTrust, the BOP insurance offers property and liability coverage to protect business owners against theft, fire, unexpected accidents, and more. If an employee gets injured on the job, AmTrust’s workers’ compensation insurance will cover medical costs and care, disability benefits, ongoing care, and work-related injury legal fees.
Cyber security insurance provides protection against losses related to computer or technology issues, such as phishing or ransomware attacks, or the loss or theft of a laptop containing sensitive information.
“These types of attacks are happening more frequently than ever. We saw a 72% increase in data breaches from 2021 to 2023, affecting more than 343 million victims. If your business collects consumer data, handles accounts payable and receivable, or maintains a website, you need cyber security coverage,” Guthier explained.
