Do you know the truth behind 3 Common Malpractice Insurance Myths?

Myth #1: 

My employer-provided coverage is sufficient.


FALSE: Most coverage through your employer insures you only while on the job and does not cover your license if there is a state board complaint. A policy from HPSO includes up to $25,000 of Licensure Defense Expenses and insures you 24/7, on or off the job.


Myth #2:

The chance of me getting sued is rare.


FALSE: When a client is injured, everyone involved in the case is typically named in the lawsuit – including counselors.


Myth #3:

Malpractice insurance is too expensive for me. 


FALSE: Most full-time employed counselors insured through HPSO are paying $154 a year for professional liability coverage. We also offer payment plans for your convenience!

 

The truth?

Coverage from HPSO helps protect your career and reputation.

 

“HPSO brings me peace of mind. Professional liability insurance provided by my employer is presumed to cover the employer’s interests. HPSO gives me peace of mind that I am taking care of myself.” – HPSO Member
