Coverage products commonly considered
Most audiologist operations consider one or more of these coverage types:
Hypothetical claim scenarios
These are hypothetical examples only. Actual coverage depends on the policy form, exclusions, and carrier determination.
- Hypothetically, a patient alleges that an inaccurate audiogram led to the wrong device being fitted, and professional liability / E&O coverage is intended to respond in the event of a covered claim.
- Hypothetically, a visitor trips over a cord in the waiting room and is injured; general liability coverage may help respond to a premises claim of this nature.
Frequently asked questions
Why would an audiologist carry professional liability insurance?
Because the core exposure is an allegation that a diagnosis, fitting, or recommendation caused harm. Professional liability insurance, also called Errors & Omissions (E&O) insurance, is intended to respond to claims of that kind. Coverage, eligibility, and pricing vary by carrier and state.
Does general liability matter for an in-office practice?
It can. General liability is generally intended to respond to third-party slip-and-fall and property-damage claims at your office, which is a separate exposure from the advisory work professional liability addresses.
