Re: professional liability ins

[Guest guest]

I used to carry HPSO and then my insurance agent through State Farm was able to replicate the insurance. I was able to obtain a plan for my liability as well as my office and property. Treatments are permissible in my state. The dogs in my care are treated as property and they are covered up to the price of the dog (from $500 to $4500). With the combined policies - I was also able to obtain a break in price.

Good luck!

Re: professional liability ins

HPSO, the PLI to the APTA, now will cover PTs practicing on animals with certain stipulations. First, animals must be considered property in your state, you must be a licensed PT, and you must not work in a state that explicitly states in rules and regulations that practice of animal rehab by PTs is illegal. The policy only covers the animal as property damage to your client and is, at minimum, $500 per incident. Increased amounts of coverage can be elected. Let me know if you have any difficulty with pursuing this policy as the president of HPSO approved it himself.

Also, I know that Travelers and Zurich have underwritten PTs practicing in animal rehab.

The veterinary office in which you work may have a policy that includes your practice as well.

Best of luck.
