Colorado Massage Insurance Guidelines

The moment you step into your massage room, all you think about is wellness because that is your profession: enhancing wellness in others through therapeutic massage. If you have been in this practice for many years you will not think that anything can go wrong. It is expected that nothing can go wrong because it has not in the past, and you take pride in your satisfied customers and the exceptional reputation of your business. With this positive and wellness-driven image, you may believe that buying an insurance policy as a massage professional in Colorado is simply not necessary.

You should know that insurance is required for every professional massage therapist in the state of Colorado. All registered massage therapists and bodywork professionals in Colorado are required to have a diploma or degree obtained after education and training from an approved massage school. They are also required to pass the approved exam for their profession, NCETMB/NCETM or MBLEx, and comply with exemptions.

No matter your skill level, you can’t guarantee that nothing will go wrong at your professional practice. A professional can’t be too careful, as there are situations that are out of an individual’s control. In some cases, a client is simply searching for the smallest error in order to sue, whether that is a slip and fall accident occurring in your business premises, a wrong product used, or a simple oversight. Claims can be damaging to both you and your business, as well as incredibly stressful. In addition to losing money, the reputation of your practice can be damaged without repair through claims. The right massage therapist insurance will cover all these scenarios that may occur in the state of Colorado.

Insurance coverage has many benefits for massage professionals. The types of insurance and its benefits depend on your business’s specific needs. Professional liability insurance, also known as malpractice insurance, will cover claims related to lack of professional skills or misconduct that results in injuries. Even if you have the right skills and experience, you cannot be sure that all clients will believe this. This coverage can provide up to $2 million per occurrence. General liability coverage will cover claims for injuries or accidents occurring on the premises of your business, such as slip and fall accidents. Product liability coverage will protect you against claims related to injuries resulting from the product you use. There are other types of insurance coverage that you can consider, which will cover a range of other possible claims.

In considering your specific needs, the right coverage can save you and your business. Shopping around and comparing insurance rates is also important, as it will help you find a policy that is most affordable for you, providing you with both physical protection and peace of mind.
