WHY IT MATTERS
Why Health Practitioner - Psychologist need business insurance
A psychology practice can face claims involving professional services, injuries, business property, employees and confidential information. Separate coverage lines address different risks, subject to each policy's terms and exclusions.
SCENARIO 1

A patient claims that an assessment, treatment decision or documentation error caused harm. Professional liability insurance may help with the legal defense and covered resolution of the claim.
SCENARIO 2

A visitor slips in the waiting area and files an injury claim. General liability insurance may help with covered medical expenses, legal costs and damages.
SCENARIO 3

An unauthorized party gains access to patient or practice information. Cyber liability insurance may help with covered response expenses and related claims.
PRICING FACTORS
What determines your rate
Your actual quote depends on several factors specific to your operation:
Services provided
The types of assessments, therapy and other professional services you provide shape your exposure. Services viewed as more complex can lead to a higher quote.
Practice size
More clinicians, employees or patient interactions can increase exposure and may raise the cost of coverage.
Business revenue
Insurers may use revenue as a measure of business activity. Higher revenue can contribute to a higher quote.
Office and equipment
The value of furniture, computers, tenant improvements and other business property affects the property portion of a quote. More property to insure can increase that cost.
Claims history
Past claims and their circumstances can affect underwriting. A history of claims may result in a higher quote or different coverage terms.
Coverage selections
Coverage lines, limits and deductibles directly shape the quote. Higher limits generally cost more, while choosing a higher deductible may lower the related coverage cost.
