Key Benefits of Partnering with U-PIC
Built for Medical Shipments
Protection for pharmaceuticals, devices, specimens, and trial materials.
Cost-Effective Coverage
Rates up to 90% lower than carrier insurance, protecting margins on high value freight.
Cold Chain Friendly
Endorsements available for temperature-sensitive and time-critical shipments.
Documented Claims
A simple online claims process with clear records for your compliance files.
Protect High Value Medical Shipments
Healthcare shipments carry more risk than most. A single pallet of pharmaceuticals, a replacement surgical device, or a batch of clinical trial samples can be worth more than an entire day of ordinary parcel volume, and a loss can delay patient care as well as revenue. U-PIC makes it straightforward to insure those shipments against loss, damage, spoilage, or shortage with coverage priced well below what carriers charge.
Please Note
Coverage for time- or temperature-sensitive goods, including many pharmaceutical and biologic shipments, requires a specific endorsement. Without this endorsement, these items are not covered under U-PIC's standard shipping insurance. Please contact our team to confirm eligibility and obtain proper coverage.
