If you are securing a loan insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) or the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), your lender or underwriter may require Sexual Abuse & Molestation (SAM) insurance before closing.
Missing, incorrect, or non-compliant SAM coverage is one of the most common reasons these transactions can get delayed or flagged late in underwriting.
HCP National helps multifamily and healthcare borrowers secure comprehensive and affordable FHA & HUD SAM insurance, including coverage structured to satisfy lender requirements and help avoid closing delays.
In the FHA and HUD lending context, SAM coverage may be required or strongly preferred by lenders and underwriters to address severe liability exposure tied to certain property types and operations.
For borrowers, the issue is not just whether coverage exists, but whether it satisfies the lender’s specific insurance requirements. Missing coverage, incorrect wording, inadequate limits, or non-compliant forms can all create underwriting issues and delay closing.

Certain FHA and HUD-insured transactions involve properties or operations where lenders and underwriters may seek additional protection against severe liability exposure.
This can be especially relevant for:
Because these claims can be severe and expensive to defend, lenders and underwriters may require evidence that this exposure has been properly addressed before closing.
Borrowers may encounter SAM insurance requirements in connection with:
Every transaction is different. Requirements can vary based on the lender, underwriter, property type, and operational exposure.
Although requirements vary by lender and transaction, common lender-requested terms may include:
This is where many borrowers run into trouble. A policy may technically include SAM coverage, but still fail to meet the lender’s specific requirements. Some borrowers need standalone coverage, while others may be able to use endorsed coverage depending on lender requirements and available SAM insurance forms.
One of the biggest issues with FHA and HUD-insured loans is that SAM insurance is often addressed too late in the process.
Common problems include:
Any of these issues can create unnecessary friction during underwriting and delay closing. If your lender has asked for SAM coverage, it is best to address it as early as possible.

We are a small practice working in long-term care. When our previous insurance carrier decided late in the game to no longer cover long-term care providers, we began a search for new coverage and thankfully HCP. Our representative ran circles around other account managers we had spoken with and found coverage at a competitive price, all within our limited timeframe. HCP’s team members are the sort of people you look forward to working with; we give HCP an enthusiastic 5-star rating.
HCP National is a proven and trusted ally of Aggie Pediatrics, LLC. Our personal Account Manager is quick to respond to any questions and always willing to take the time to listen. I recommend HCP National to any healthcare provider searching for an affordable program suited to your needs, big or small.

Everyone is very professional, knows very well what they are doing, and you feel that you are always in good hands.
