Coverage Details
HUB is pleased to provide chiropodists with a comprehensive insurance program that includes:
- Professional liability with optional entity coverage
- Commercial general liability coverage
- Property and crime coverage
Here are some important things to know about our insurance for chiropodists:
- Professional liability insurance covers actual or alleged errors, omissions or negligent acts in your rendering of professional services to clients. Under our program, this coverage is written on a “claims-made” basis, meaning the insurance must be in force at the time a claim is reported to the insurance company. To ensure coverage for past services, it is important to maintain your insurance in force at all times.
- Professional liability coverage must be purchased in order to be eligible to purchase the other coverages offered.
- If you purchase optional entity coverage, the limit of liability must be the same as the professional liability limit.
- Property/crime coverage is not available for online purchase. Contact HUB if you’re interested in this coverage.
Note: Certificates are issued for a one-year term.
