  Join 28,000+ doctors and dentists in the 'Investing for Doctors' Facebook group: https://facebook.com/groups/investingfordoctors -----In this episode, we’re joined once again by Lisa Hiscock, founder of Hakea Insurance Brokers and former reinsurance specialist, for a conversation every doctor needs to hear, what your medical indemnity actually covers, and more importantly, what it doesn’t.Drawing on her decades of experience across insurance, reinsurance, and medical risk, Lisa breaks down the misunderstood world of protection for clinicians. From malpractice and practice indemnity to property, management liability, and the rising threat of cyberattacks, she reveals how even well-insured doctors can still be dangerously exposed.We unpack why obstetrics and neurosurgery are among the most expensive specialties to insure, how Australia’s government-backed safety net keeps the system fairer than in the US, and what practice owners need to know before hiring staff or storing patient data online.Whether you’re starting your first private clinic or already running a busy practice, this episode will help you see insurance not as a box-ticking exercise but as a business survival tool.If you’ve ever assumed your indemnity has you covered for everything, this is the episode that might just save your practice.-----TIME STAMPS:00:00 Hook/Intro01:38 Lisa's Background02:27 Overview of Medical and Dental Insurance Ecosystem in Australia03:55 Specialty-Based Insurance Risk and Pricing05:20 Ogden Rates and Severity of Loss08:06 High-Risk Specialties and Litigation12:34 For-Profit vs. Membership-Based Organisations12:54 Medical Indemnity System in Australia18:44 Practice Indemnity and Its Importance25:58 Management Liability and Employment Practices28:24 Property and Business Interruption Insurance31:28 Cyber Security and Insurance44:35 Prevention and Preparedness45:17 Conclusion/Outro-----SHOW NOTES LINKShttps://ifdgroup.com.au/ https://doctorbi.com.au/ https://au.linkedin.com/in/mian-bihttps://www.linkedin.com/in/lisa-hiscock-7308a259/----- LISTEN TO THE PODCAST Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/07DS5AxlbgmkuvP6zQGgtN Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/investing-for-doctors-podcast/id1775535608 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/b9de46bc-e29d-4402-9e9e-959a3a5dc8da/investing-for-doctors-podcast ----- FIND US HERE Website: https://ifdgroup.com.au/ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/investingfordoctors Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/investingfordoctors ----- DISCLAIMER The information provided in this podcast is for general purposes only and should not be considered personal advice.

  Join 28,000+ doctors and dentists in the 'Investing for Doctors' Facebook group: https://facebook.com/groups/investingfordoctors -----In this episode, we’re joined by Dina Tikova, Senior Manager of Startups at UNSW Founders and the driving force behind the Health 10x Accelerator, to unpack how doctors can turn breakthrough medical innovation into real-world wealth and impact, without leaving medicine.With over a decade of experience helping medical founders commercialise health tech, Dina reveals what’s actually working in 2025 to bridge the gap between hospitals, universities, and high-growth startups. She explains how the Health 10x program backs ventures tackling the toughest global health challenges, the ones that need regulation, clinical trials, and funding that traditional investors usually avoid.Together, we explore why Australia has lagged behind the US in translating world-class research into commercial success, what’s finally shifting, and how doctors can play a key role as founders, advisors, or investors. Dina also breaks down how universities are changing the rules, creating new pathways for clinicians to engage with innovation while keeping their medical careers intact.If you’ve ever seen a life-changing idea get stuck in the system and thought, “Someone should do something about that,” this episode will show you how to be that someone, by investing in the future of healthcare innovation.-----TIME STAMPS:00:00 Intro/Hook02:09 Dina's Background03:01 How Dina Titkov ended up in Australia07:00 Health 10x Accelerator Program at UNSW Founder08:38 Types of Companies 10x Accelerator Program Helps10:04 Challenges and Opportunities in University Commercialisation12:30 What can we do better in Australia22:48 Early Career Academic Fellowship Programme24:42 Improving University Spin-Out Processes32:07 Clinician-Led Innovation and Health Innovation Precincts38:40 Engaging Clinicians in Health Innovation43:38 Conclusion/Outro-----SHOW NOTES LINKShttps://ifdgroup.com.au/ https://doctorbi.com.au/ https://au.linkedin.com/in/mian-bihttps://www.linkedin.com/in/dinatitkova/https://unswfounders.com/----- LISTEN TO THE PODCAST Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/07DS5AxlbgmkuvP6zQGgtN Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/investing-for-doctors-podcast/id1775535608 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/b9de46bc-e29d-4402-9e9e-959a3a5dc8da/investing-for-doctors-podcast ----- FIND US HERE Website: https://ifdgroup.com.au/ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/investingfordoctors Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/investingfordoctors ----- DISCLAIMER The information provided in this podcast is for general purposes only and should not be cons

• The TRUTH About How Insurance Really Works (and Why Most Investors Get It Wrong) | Ep. 49

  Join 28,000+ doctors and dentists in the 'Investing for Doctors' Facebook group: https://facebook.com/groups/investingfordoctors -----In this episode of Investing for Doctors, Dr Bi Mian is joined by general insurance broker Lisa Hiscock, whose global career spans reinsurance and complex risk underwriting with companies like Lloyd’s of London and AXA. Together, they unpack one of the most overlooked parts of wealth building, how to protect what you’ve already built.Lisa explains what insurance really is, not just a policy, but a promise to restore you when things go wrong. From how premiums are priced to why reinsurance exists, she breaks down how insurers think about risk, and why climate change, floods, and bushfires are reshaping what’s even insurable. You’ll also hear how underinsurance happens, the traps investors fall into when they renovate or forget to update policies, and why liability cover matters more than most people realise.For doctors growing wealth outside of medicine, this conversation is your reminder that insurance isn’t a cost, it’s a strategy for risk management. Whether you own clinics, investment properties, or commercial assets, understanding how to structure the right protection can mean the difference between recovering and starting over when disaster strikes.-----TIME STAMPS:00:00 Intro/Hook02:11 Lisa Hiscock's Background and Career in Insurance03:55 Lloyd's of London/Understanding Insurance and Reinsurance05:40 General Insurance Brokerage and Its Scope07:46 How Insurance works16:39 Property Insurance and Its Components18:28 Owner-occupier Insurance26:27 Landlord Insurance and Strata Responsibilities30:29 Aggregation of Insurance Risks and Government Involvement40:36 Technological Advancements in Risk Assessment44:07 Services Provided by Insurance Brokers46:17 Conclusion/Outro-----SHOW NOTES LINKShttps://ifdgroup.com.au/ https://doctorbi.com.au/ https://au.linkedin.com/in/mian-bihttps://www.linkedin.com/in/lisa-hiscock-7308a259/----- LISTEN TO THE PODCAST Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/07DS5AxlbgmkuvP6zQGgtN Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/investing-for-doctors-podcast/id1775535608 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/b9de46bc-e29d-4402-9e9e-959a3a5dc8da/investing-for-doctors-podcast ----- FIND US HERE Website: https://ifdgroup.com.au/ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/investingfordoctors Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/investingfordoctors ----- DISCLAIMER The information provided in this podcast is for general purposes only and should not be considered personal advice.
