Coverage for speech-language pathologists
Professional liability (malpractice) and general liability for speech-language pathologists — generally intended to respond to claims alleging a covered error, omission, or injury in the course of care. Many employers, schools, and facilities require proof of coverage.
Professional liability
Also called malpractice or Errors & Omissions (E&O) — generally intended to respond to claims alleging a covered mistake, omission, or negligent act in your professional services.
General liability
Generally intended to address third-party bodily injury and property damage — in a clinic, a school, or a client's home.
Pediatric & setting-aware
The quote form asks about pediatric caseloads and whether your care is facility-based, home visits, or both, since both affect the exposure profile.

Malpractice carriers ask about license type, caseload, care setting, and supervision before they will quote. The full application collects all of it in one pass.

Frequently asked questions
Does this cover speech-language pathologists in private practice and those employed elsewhere?
This is built for SLPs who need their own coverage — whether you run a private practice, contract with schools/facilities, or work through a staffing agency that requires you to carry your own policy.
Why does the quote form ask about pediatric patients?
Treating minors is a common rating factor for allied health malpractice coverage — many SLP caseloads are pediatric, so the quote form asks directly rather than assuming.
I do home visits instead of working from an office — does that matter?
Yes — facility-based, in-home, or a mix of both changes the liability exposure profile, so the quote form asks which applies to you.
Do I need to give a license number to get a quote?
No — a license number isn't required to request a quote. We do ask about your license type/specialty and whether you belong to any professional organizations or hold designations, since that's useful underwriting context.
