MASSAGE Magazine, a publication with over 38 years in the industry, developed Massage Magazine Insurance to provide a single, national liability insurance policy for health, wellness, and beauty professionals.
Now backed by insurance industry leader Arthur J. Gallagher & Co., we are able to provide even more dependable and all-inclusive coverage brought to you by the same small team who has insured over 100,000 professionals across the country.
Professional Liability Insurance Limits
1 Additional Insured: $10 | Unlimited Additional Insureds: $30
Other massage insurance companies will offer different coverage limits based on a practitioners full-time or part-time status. This would mean that if you are a part-time massage therapist, you may have less coverage than a full-time one.
We don’t believe in offering different coverage limits so all our policies have the same limits. Full-time, part-time, or a student, all members enjoy the same great coverage. Our massage insurance program prices are based on how you will use the coverage and decide to pay.
Professional Liability Insurance: Also known as "malpractice insurance" or "errors and omissions insurance," covers claims related to professional negligence, including instances like burns from hot stones or injuries during a deep tissue massage.
General Liability Insurance: Provides protection from claims that may not directly stem from your professional services. For example, if a client simply tripped and fell on your property, this coverage would protect you from the financial fallout of the lawsuit.
Provides protection against claims related to injuries or damages caused by a product used in your treatment, such as if a client had an allergic reaction from the oil, lotion or other similar product.
This coverage can help protect you if you’re accused of libel, slander, or false advertising.
A type of insurance that provides protection for those who rent or lease a workspace. This type of coverage offers protection against any damage that occurs to the rented or leased premises as a result of the therapist's business activities or actions of their clients.
Provides protection against identity theft and threat incidents that would put personal information at risk. Typically includes credit monitoring, dark web scans, and recovery services if your information is jeopardized.
This provides protection for vital equipment that is stolen or damaged due to theft. If your massage table is stolen, or was damaged while someone attempted theft, stolen equipment coverage will provide coverage for the cost of the replacing or repairing the item.

Anna S.
I've been very happy with Insurance Plus for my liability insurance needs for nearly a decade. Reasonable pricing, easy process for starting and renewing this coverage, and accessible documents. As a Reiki Master who offers other modalities, I have been pleased with Massage Magazine Insurance Plus and feel grateful.
Erika S.
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.

3 REASONS WHY
Over 100,000 Professionals Have Chosen Us
Massage Magazine Insurance Plus is proud to provide the industry-recommend coverage type: occurrence form coverage with individual aggregate limits.
This combined with over 8 million in annual coverage and superior customer service are just some of the top reasons why so many professionals choose MMIP.
We offer occurrence form coverage
Our policy has "occurrence form coverage" which is the industry-preferred coverage type because you are guaranteed to be protected against claims that occurred while your policy was in effect, even if the claim arises after your policy has expired.
Other insurance companies offer "claims made coverage", which means your policy has to be active when a claim is made in order to be protected. If your policy lapses, they will not cover you.
We offer individual aggregate limits
Our policy has "individual aggregate limits", which means the millions in coverage listed on your policy is reserved for you alone.
Other insurance companies offer "shared aggregate limits", which means your coverage amount is shared among everyone who is insured with that company. This creates a risk of little to zero coverage being available to you if you need it.
We cover over 450 disciplines and modalities
Our policy was designed to cover dual-practitioners in the beauty & bodywork industry for no additional cost.
However, there are some techniques and modalities that our policy does not cover, you can see the full list here.
How We Stack Up Against Others
Massage Magazine Insurance Plus (MMIP) works hard to keep up with the ever-changing massage industry to ensure that our members are receiving the best value for their practice. Our all-inclusive insurance package comes with perks, benefits, and additional coverage plans that other liability insurance companies just don’t offer.
Price can be a major deciding factor when it comes to choosing your insurance provider, but does more expensive really mean better coverage? With ABMP and AMTA, you're required to pay membership fees in order to obtain liability insurance but with MMIP, no fees whatsoever are required to become insured, and you receive all of the benefits and comprehensive coverage limits.
