Healthcare operates inside a regulatory framework most industries never touch. HIPAA, CMS, state medical boards, FDA for life-sciences. Every line is heavier and every gap costs more. The line that surprises CFOs is regulatory defense: it’s separate from professional liability and often under-sublimited.
Below is that profile under Hawaii rules: West perils, state statutes, and the market structure built around them.
The exposures that hit this class hardest, drawn from analysis of mid-market accounts. The structural ones cost more than the premium-driven ones.

The lines ARIA recommends for healthcare & life sciences, in the order they typically attach, with the Hawaii factor that changes how each one must be structured here.
The core stack for healthcare & life sciences typically starts with Medical Professional Liability (claims-made), Cyber Liability w/ uncapped regulatory defense, D&O w/ entity coverage, Employment Practices, structured in that order. In Hawaii, medical professional liability (claims-made) deserves particular attention: Guest-facing operations at tourism scale keep premises liability central. ARIA reads your operation against both the industry profile and Hawaii specifics before any quote is requested.
Hawaii asks more of employers than the mainland does: workers' compensation from the first employee, temporary disability insurance for off-the-job injury and illness, and employer health coverage under the Prepaid Health Care Act for eligible employees. Mainland employers expanding here routinely miss the second and third.
The two compound here. The exposure that most often drives loss for healthcare & life sciences is phi breach + multi-state notification, and Hawaii layers hurricane and lava-zone exposure on top of it. A program built for the industry but priced without the Hawaii layer tends to look fine until the first claim touches both at once, which is exactly the read ARIA runs before any market is approached.
