By GlobalDataOne80 Intermediaries president Matthew Power said: “In the wake of the Covid-19 outbreak, we are the first to offer both an affordable and highly customised pandemic and epidemic insurance solution.
“Other insurance providers have offered limited pandemic coverage in the past, at a much higher cost. Our coverage will meet the unique demands of each individual insured as it considers multiple aspects of each insured’s business. At One80 Intermediaries, it is our mission to quickly respond to the needs of the insurance industry with market-leading, innovative products and services.”
One80 is offering the new policy to public and private sector entities of all sizes, and across all major industries, in all 50 states in the US.
