CLIA’s Voluntary Excess Program (VEP) offers the flexibility of additional coverage limits, extending up to $35 million per claim, with an annual aggregate limit of $35 million. Coverage options under the VEP include limits of $1 million, $2 million, $3 million, $4 million, $6.5 million, $9 million, $14 million, $19 million, $24 million, $29 million, and $34 million, in excess of a $1 million base. See our Excess Insurance page for an overview of the program and for information to help you determine if you need excess coverage.
In addition, CLIA continues to offer a stand-alone cyber insurance product with higher limits than the cyber coverage we offer with the mandatory insurance. The stand-alone cyber insurance can be purchased in conjunction with the excess liability coverage or on its own. See Cyber Insurance Overview materials for more information.
