WALNUT CREEK, Calif. — Heffernan Insurance Brokers, one of the largest full-service, independent insurance brokerage firms in the United States, now offers a comprehensive insurance program specifically for retail pharmacies.

Heffernan works exclusively with pharmacy owners across the country and has seen firsthand how California pharmacy owners are struggling to find affordable business insurance that includes professional liability coverage. The program is designed to include professional liability so customers would not need to purchase a stand-alone policy any longer. Options also increased to provide liability limits up to $10,000,000. The program is being piloted in the state of California, with the goal of reaching each state in the future.

“There are now more options for small businesses which, in turn, creates more competition and lower prices for our clients,” said Steve Boone, assistant vice president at Heffernan Insurance Brokers. “This program is perfect for the independent pharmacist looking for an experienced insurance broker who can offer a single source package.”
