Osteopathy Practitioner Insurance

Why do I need osteopathy practitioner insurance?

The services provided by an osteopath can vary, as your job is to assess and treat patients who come to you with a variety of issues. As an osteopath, you are often in close contact with clients, providing them with hands-on services. While some of your treatment plans may be straightforward, issues may arise, which could result in a lawsuit. Depending on the result of the lawsuit, you may be required to pay a hefty amount in damages. Even if the lawsuit ends in your favour, the cost of legal fees can hurt your practice. Osteopathy insurance, can provide coverage in the event that a claim is brought against you or your practice.

Osteopathy insurance coverage types

Osteopathy insurance policies can include a wide range of coverage, and it’s up to you to choose which coverage types and coverage limits to include in your policy, such as:

Professional liability insurance: Professional liability insurance is the most important type of osteopathy insurance coverage. It protects you against financial losses in the event that a patient files a claim against you alleging negligence or error. This type of coverage can help pay for legal fees and court costs.

Commercial general liability: While professional liability insurance pertains to the services you provide to patients, commercial general liability insurance pertains to the office space where you offer those services. Known as slip-and-fall insurance, having commercial general liability coverage will protect you from claims of third-party property damage or bodily injury (for example, if someone slips and falls on a wet floor in your office and sues you).

Optional coverage

Cyber liability: Cyber liability insurance protects against financial losses relating to data breaches or hacks. If your osteopathy office stores personal or medical data about clients online, cyber liability insurance can be useful.
