Why Employed Physical Therapists Need Individual Insurance

Even if your employer offers insurance, you could still face significant risks as a physical therapist. Physical therapy is a hands-on profession that involves direct interaction with clients, making you vulnerable to lawsuits that your employer’s business owner policy may not fully cover.

In certain cases, liability can transfer directly to you, the individual providing care. This means you could be held personally responsible for claims, even if your employer has insurance. Additionally, both you and your employer could be held separately liable, leaving gaps in coverage that might put your career at risk.

Don’t leave your future to chance or rely solely on your employer’s insurance. Protect your career and gain peace of mind by securing your own coverage with MyPT Insurance today.

Why Self-Employed Physical Therapists Need Individual Insurance

As a self-employed physical therapist, your clients rely on you for expert care, but who’s protecting you? Whether you’re treating clients in a private practice, at their homes, or in other settings, you could be exposed to claims involving injury, negligence, or professional errors.

Beyond financial security, liability insurance demonstrates your professionalism and commitment to safeguarding your clients’ well-being, which can significantly boost client trust. Secure your future and build trust with your clients by investing in comprehensive liability insurance today.

Why Physical Therapist Assistants Need Individual Insurance

Even when working under a physical therapist’s supervision, physical therapist assistants (PTAs) are still responsible for their patients’ safety and well-being. If a patient is injured during therapy or treatment, the PTA could also be held liable for negligence, errors, or omissions—even under supervision. In a healthcare environment where risks are inherent, having liability insurance is crucial for PTAs to perform their duties confidently, knowing they’re covered in case of an unfortunate incident.

FAQs

What type of insurance should a PT have?

Physical Therapists (PTs) should consider securing both professional liability insurance (also referred to as malpractice insurance) and general liability insurance. Professional liability insurance helps cover legal fees and damages in case a client alleges that the PT’s services were inadequate or caused harm. On the other hand, general liability insurance provides protection against claims of bodily injury or personal injury that might arise during the course of work, offering a more comprehensive layer of security for their practice. Additionally, PTs may want to explore coverage options like Identity Theft Protection and Advertising Injury & Personal Injury for complete protection of their career.

What is liability insurance for PTs?

Liability insurance for Physical Therapists (PTs), encompassing both professional liability (also known as malpractice insurance) and general liability, offers extensive protection. Professional liability insurance defends PTs against legal claims that their services caused harm or were inadequate, covering legal defense costs, settlements, and judgments. Meanwhile, general liability insurance shields PTs from claims related to bodily injury or personal injury that may arise during their practice, providing an added layer of protection against a wider range of potential risks.

I work both in an office and at clients' homes. Am I covered in both locations?

Yes, you’re covered in both scenarios. Our insurance follows you wherever you work, whether in your office or at a client’s home. As long as you’re in compliance with state or local regulations, you’ll be covered across all 50 states.

How does physical therapy insurance from MyPT differ from the competition?

MyPT Insurance provides the most affordable professional liability coverage in the physical therapy industry. It offers comprehensive protection for over 500 modalities and the application process is quick, allowing for instant coverage upon checkout, and includes access to health, dental, and vision insurance. We’ve compiled a comprehensive comparison of the leading insurance programs, laying out all the important details for you and to learn more click here.

Which modalities are not covered?

Please give us a call at 1 (800) 990-3127 to discuss policy exemptions.

Where am I covered?

Your insurance policy covers you in all 50 United States. US territories, such as Puerto Rico, are not included in the coverage. Countries outside of the United States, such as Canada, are also not included.

How soon will coverage go into effect?

Coverage is immediate and your Proof of Insurance will be available in your email within minutes.

What is a certificate of insurance?

A certificate of insurance is a document issued by an insurance company that confirms an individual or organization holds an active insurance policy. It outlines key details such as the type of coverage, policy limits, and the policy period. If you’re asked to provide proof of insurance, this is the document you would present.

What’s the difference between Occurrence Form & Claims-Made Coverage?

Occurrence Form Coverage offers protection for claims related to damage or injury that took place during the policy period, no matter when the claim is filed. Often regarded as the gold standard in the health and wellness sectors, this coverage ensures you’re protected for incidents that occur within the policy term, even if the policy has expired when the claim is made. In contrast, a Claims-made policy provides coverage only when a claim is reported during the active policy period, regardless of when the incident that led to the claim happened. It’s crucial to note that this type of coverage won’t apply unless the policy is in effect at the time the claim is made.

How soon will coverage go into effect?

Coverage is active immediately after payment and your Proof of Insurance will be available in your email within minutes.

Can I purchase a policy now and begin coverage later?

Absolutely! You can buy a policy now and choose a start date within the next three months. For instance, if you purchase on August 1 but want coverage to begin on September 27, simply choose September 27 as your start date during checkout.

What is the process for filing a claim?

Filing a claim is easy! Contact our Operations Team at sarasota.bsd.operations@ajg.com to get started. They’ll verify your coverage and ask you to complete a Claim Summary Form. Depending on the situation, they may also request additional documentation. We’ll guide you through the next steps.
