What is professional liability insurance for counselors?
The answer depends on your state. Pick yours to see it.
Professional liability insurance, also called malpractice coverage, protects a counselor against claims resulting from covered incidents in professional practice, including legal defense costs. Policies for comparable mental-health practitioners commonly carry per-claim limits of around $1,000,000, and can add benefits such as reimbursement for licensure-defense legal representation and coverage for HIPAA proceedings.
