Quick Answer: A broker-led review of the insurance you already carry, measured against what your business actually does. It identifies what your existing policies leave unprotected, which exclusions reach your operations, and what your supply and purchase agreements already obligate you to carry.
A coverage gap review measures the insurance you already carry against the operations, products, professional services, and contractual obligations of the business as it exists today. It distinguishes what is confirmed as covered from what is limited by policy language, and identifies the questions that require formal clarification from the carrier.
What Does a Coverage Gap Review Check?
Five areas. In each one, what the policy actually says tends to differ from what the business believed it said.
A policy may still reflect an earlier version of the business. A gap review compares current operations with current coverage and identifies changes or questions to address before a claim.
- What your product liability actually covers. Whether product liability is in place at all, and if so, whether it extends to the product you genuinely handle. A business that takes title to a product and resells it sits squarely in the products and completed operations claim pipeline, regardless of how it views its own role.
- Whether your malpractice coverage extends to your advice. Malpractice coverage responds to bodily injury caused by negligent care or advice. It does not respond to the product itself. A business doing both needs coverage that addresses each exposure separately.
- Where your medical director’s exposure sits. The physician whose name stands behind a protocol bears that exposure personally. It is widely presumed to be covered somewhere within the program. We establish whether it genuinely is.
- What your contracts already obligate you to provide. The indemnification language in supply and purchase agreements is standard-form, and your operation is not. No policy assumes that obligation outright, but coverage placed correctly transfers the defense costs and claim settlement away from the business, leaving the indemnity as the residual obligation once insurance has responded. We confirm that transfer is in force.
- Which exclusions apply to your operations. The exclusions schedule is the section few read and the one that governs what a policy will answer for. We read it against your operations. You learn exactly which exclusions reach your business.
A consumer guide from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners puts it plainly: “The Exclusions take coverage away from the Insuring Agreement.”
During a coverage gap review, our team examines your existing policies against the full scope of your peptide operations and identifies exposures your current coverage may leave unprotected. Many businesses assume their professional or product liability policy already extends to their peptide work. It often does not, and that gap is too often discovered through a claim rather than a proactive review.
- What your products liability policy responds to
- Whether your malpractice covers non-FDA-approved peptide advice
- Where your medical director’s personal exposure sits
- What your purchase agreements require, and what insurance will not cover
- Which exclusions apply to your peptide activities
Who Should Request a Coverage Gap Review?
Any business whose operations have changed since its policies were written. In practice, that is most of them.
The review matters most for clinics and medical practices, med spas, and the distributors and wholesalers working in the professional-use peptide channel. In those businesses, the distance between what a policy says and what the operation actually does tends to be widest.
It is not confined to them. World Insurance Network is a full independent brokerage, and the same review applies across commercial lines, including general liability, property, commercial auto, and workers’ compensation, as well as personal lines such as home, auto, umbrella, and high-net-worth coverage. If you carry insurance and cannot say with certainty what it excludes, the review is worth having.
What Happens After You Submit?
A broker reviews it, calls you, and tells you plainly what they found. No automated quote, no call center.
Start With Your Current Coverage.
The form takes a couple of minutes. Your name, your business, what it does, and the coverage you are asking about. Nothing further at this stage.
A Broker Reviews It.
A broker familiar with the class reviews the request and identifies the questions relevant to the operation.
You Get a Straight Answer.
We come back to you the same day, often within the hour, with a clear account of what your coverage answers for and what falls outside it. If there is no gap, we will tell you.
We do not ask for premiums, limits, or policy numbers on this form, and we never ask for patient or health information.
Do You Know What Your Current Policy Excludes?
Most businesses believe their coverage travels with them into every activity they undertake. The exclusions schedule rarely agrees, and a claim is a costly venue for that discovery.

The form takes two minutes. A broker comes back to you the same day, often within the hour. Where the conversation goes from there depends on what the policy language actually supports.

Key Takeaways
- Exclusions decide claims. Flood is excluded from every standard homeowners policy, and it is far from the only gap of its kind.
- A renewal notice is not a review. It merely reaffirms coverage written for a household no one has examined since the policy was first issued.
- Malpractice generally addresses professional care or advice resulting in bodily injury, not product exposure. Product claims require separate products coverage.
- Purchase agreements carry bilateral indemnification. Each party answers for what it controls, and its insurance coverage should match its contractual obligations.
- Policies built around the risk, not a template. Every policy we place is built around your specific risk, not a template. Standardized coverage may be more economical to administer, but it inevitably leaves gaps that tend to surface at the moment of a claim.
