How InsureShield® Coverage Elevates Healthcare Shipping Protection for UPS® Premier Customers

In healthcare logistics, every shipment carries critical importance.

UPS Healthcare™ Premier customers now have access to enhanced shipping protection through InsureShield Shipping Protection, offering up to $100K in coverage, fast claims processing, and comprehensive solutions for healthcare shipments.

Why Healthcare Shipments Need Extra Protection

Healthcare shipments often involve high-value items and time-sensitive deliveries. From porch piracy to delays in transit, even the smallest disruption can result in significant losses. This is why protecting your shipments is essential.

With InsureShield Protection, UPS Healthcare Premier customers can rest assured that their shipments are safeguarded against:

  • Porch Piracy: Protects your shipments even after delivery, whether residential or commercial
  • Time-in-Transit Coverage: Ensures that Next Day Air packages are protected against spoilage due to delays

These protections offer peace of mind for businesses that cannot afford risks with their most sensitive deliveries.
