What types of business insurance do audiologists need?
General liability insurance
A general liability insurance policy covers basic third-party risks, such as a patient who slips during a consultation about hearing problems. It's often required for commercial leases.
- Slip-and-fall injuries
- Accidents that damage patient property
- Advertising injuries, such as slander
Business owner's policy
This type of policy, also called a BOP, bundles commercial property insurance and general liability coverage under one plan. Small, low-risk audiology clinics are usually eligible for this coverage.
- Bodily injuries from accidents
- Damaged patient property
- Stolen or damaged business property
Professional liability / medical malpractice
Professional liability insurance, also called medical malpractice insurance, covers legal costs related to professional mistakes, such as failure to diagnose a tumor that caused hearing loss.
- Failure to refer to a specialist
- Mistake or delay in diagnosis
- Accusations of negligence
Commercial auto insurance
This policy covers the cost of accidents involving an audiology business's vehicle. Most states require this coverage for vehicles owned by a business.
- Property damage caused by your vehicle
- Medical bills from an auto accident
- Vehicle theft and vandalism
Workers’ compensation insurance
Most states require workers' comp for audiology practices that have employees. It also protects sole proprietors from work injury costs that health insurance might deny.
- Employee medical expenses
- Disability benefits
- Legal expenses from employee injuries
Cyber insurance
This policy helps audiology clinics recover financially from data breaches and cyberattacks. It's strongly recommended for any small business that handles personal information.
- Customer notification costs
- Data recovery
- Fraud monitoring services
How much does business insurance cost for healthcare professionals?
An audiologist who works independently will pay less for insurance than a large audiology clinic.
Factors that affect premiums include:
- Audiology services offered, such as diagnostic hearing tests and hearing aid fittings
- Medical equipment and other business property
- Business income
- Where your business operates
- Types of insurance purchased
- Policy limits and deductibles
