Comprehensive Insurance & Risk Management Solutions for Dental Service Organizations (DSOs)

As your Dental Service Organization (DSO) grows, so do your responsibilities and risks. Managing multiple practices, increasing patient volumes, and expanding your team brings unique liability and financial exposures that require specialized risk management strategies.

At Risk Strategies, we bring 30+ years of expertise in helping DSOs protect their assets, associates, and operations with tailored insurance solutions. Our team identifies coverage gaps, eliminates redundancies, and optimizes protection—ensuring that your insurance strategy supports both operational efficiency and EBITDA growth.

Why specialized insurance matters for DSOs

Unlike solo dental practices, DSOs manage multiple locations, larger staff, and heightened regulatory compliance requirements. Without the right coverage, a single claim—whether a malpractice lawsuit, cyberattack, or employment dispute—could result in significant financial loss.

Key risk factors for DSOs:

• High patient volume increases the likelihood of malpractice claims.

• Multiple locations create property, liability, and workers’ compensation exposures.

• Cybersecurity risks threaten compliance with HIPAA and patient data protection laws.

• Employment liability grows as more associates and administrative staff join your team.

• Regulatory changes may impact compliance and insurance requirements.

Our risk specialists provide customized solutions that mitigate these risks while optimizing financial performance.
