South Carolina Massage Insurance
South Carolina Massage Insurance Guidelines
In South Carolina, carrying liability insurance is non-negotiable for massage therapists. It's a shield for the client and the therapist, ensuring that any unforeseen incidents during a session are covered.
The state mandates a minimum coverage amount, and therapists must follow these guidelines. Securing this insurance means you're not abiding by the law and practicing massage therapy responsibly. Staying insured is important to maintain professional credibility in the massage industry while being prepared for the unexpected.
South Carolina Massage Therapist Requirements
To become a licensed massage therapist in South Carolina, you must be at least 18 years old, complete a minimum of 500 hours of massage therapy training from an approved school, pass the MBLEx (Massage & Bodywork Licensing Examination), obtain professional liability insurance, pay an application fee of $150, and complete 12 hours of continuing education every biennium

Although I have never had to make a claim, I have been insured by Insurance Plus since around 1998. I find it meets my commercial needs, extremely affordable compared to other standard insurers available with coverage that gives me a sense of confidence that I am protected. I will continue to be a faithful client.
