Pro-Praxis Insurance, a managing general agent within Starwind Specialty Insurance Services LLC, the specialty programs division of CRC Group Inc., said Thursday it has launched an excess professional liability insurance program for the health care industry.

The Healthcare Excess Liability Program, or HELP, in conjunction with additional Pro-Praxis programs, will offer up to $15 million in limits for hospitals or physician groups and up to $25 million for large, allied health facilities, a Pro-Praxis statement said.
