Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment methods

Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners may get up close and personal with their clients and use a variety of apparatuses to treat their ailments. Although practitioners are trained and designated provincial colleges and associations, clinic owners should protect themselves and their interests by requiring all employees to be covered under specific Traditional Chinese Medicine insurance policies. There are many companies that provide general liability coverage, however, these policies may not be tailored to this specific industry. The following are some stipulations for coverage to consider:

• Qualified policy holders must be accredited with a recognized training institution and operate under the auspices of a provincial college where applicable.
• Individual practitioners who own their clinics may have to purchase additional coverage.

Risk Management Strategies

Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine insurance claims can be kept to a minimum by considering these risk management tips:

• Good housekeeping is essential to minimizing claims. Keep your environment clean and ensure that all equipment is in good condition.
• Any equipment should follow a maintenance schedule to ensure repairs are handled as soon as the need arises.
• Communicating effectively with your clients and patients will give them all the information they need as they head into a treatment session.
• Explain any side effects ahead of time so they feel comfortable and understand the risks of the treatment.
• Follow up with your new clients to ensure they are satisfied with the treatments.
• Get their feedback and address any concerns they have post-treatment.

These pre-emptive strategies, combined with a comprehensive Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine insurance policy, can protect practitioners against detrimental legal claims that can affect you both personally and financially. Partnering with a specialized insurance broker is your best line of defense, so you can focus on creating a positive balance of well-being with your clients.
