PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY INSURANCE
Professional and general liability insurance benefits are included in your Professional Member membership in the Association at no additional cost. These benefits are not included in any Associate Member benefits.
PROFESSIONAL (MALPRACTICE) INSURANCE
is intended to cover you for unintentional damages you cause a client through negligence or ignorance. We all hope you never have such a claim, but we live in a litigious society where some people are looking to get rich by falsely charging you with negligence thereby causing them harm. There are a few attorneys who make a good living because they believe these false charges are true.
Carrying malpractice coverage is a necessary cost of doing business in America and Canada today. The package offered here compares with packages selling from $600.00 to $1500.00 US. The reason the Calamity Benefit Package of the NTANA is so attractively priced is because of the strict requirements for membership.
Your best defense against malpractice claims is a strong professional code of ethics, a solid informed consent form and an outstanding professional liability defense attorney. You are expected to provide your clients with the first item, keep a copy of the second in your client's file and NTANA will provide you with the third.
Your malpractice coverage provides you the following protection against claims for damages which occurred while you are or were a member of the Association:
- Up to $2 Million US per occurrence
- Up to $10 Million US aggregate
- Necessary attorney fees
- Available for both the USA and Canada (Except Quebec)
This coverage is not intended to cover anybody who practices medicine, dentistry, chiropractic, veterinary, psychotherapy, nutritional and diet counseling, mental health counseling or marriage and family counseling with or without a license. If you practice natural therapies in your profession, you may be eligible for membership in the International Medical Association for Natural Therapies (IMANT) or the Medical Biofeeedback Association and Credentialing Board (MBACB).
