ERGO NEXT specializes in business insurance for speech therapists

Insurance for speech therapists is usually several types of policies working together to help protect you, your business and your employees from different types of business risks. Your coverage may include:

General Liability insurance for speech language pathologists

Protection for damages to other people's property and injuries to non-employees

If you run a private practice out of an office, visit clients’ homes or provide services in schools or clinics, general liability insurance could help if a non-employee is injured during a session or if you accidentally damage someone else’s property while you’re working.

general liability can help you pay for:

Medical expenses

Damage to property you don’t own

Legal fees and judgments

Advertising injury

Professional Liability insurance for speech language pathologists

Protection from the costs of professional mistakes or omissions that cost a client money

The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) encourages SLPs to carry professional liability insurance if they work in private practice, or are self-employed as independent contractors. Professional liability insurance for speech language pathologists — also called errors and omissions insurance, or E&O — could help provide financial protection if a client claims your services, advice or documentation led to harm or a loss or didn’t meet professional expectations.

professional liability can help you pay for:

Professional negligence (actual or alleged)

Legal defense costs

Legal judgments

Workers’ Compensation insurance

For employee work-related injury and illness

If you hire employees to support your speech therapy practice, workers’ comp insurance may be required by state law. This coverage could help cover medical bills and lost wages if an employee is injured or becomes ill because of their job.

workers compensation can help you pay for:

Medical costs

Lost wages during recovery

Employer liability

Commercial Property insurance

For business owners who own or rent physical spaces

Commercial property insurance can help protect the equipment, supplies and furniture you have inside your speech therapy practice and the building itself — whether you work out of your home, an office, clinic or shared space. If your business property is damaged by a covered event such as a fire, burst water pipe, theft or vandalism, this coverage could help with costs.

commercial property can help you pay for:

Damaged equipment and inventory

Lost income

Operating expenses

Business Owner’s Policy (BOP insurance)

Combined coverage for injuries and property damage

A Business Owner’s Policy (BOP insurance) bundles general liability insurance and commercial property insurance into one policy, often at a lower cost than buying two separate policies. For speech therapists who operate private practices or small clinics, a BOP can offer a simple way to help protect both your space and your business operations.

business owners policy can help you pay for:

Customer injuries (a.k.a bodily injury)

Property damage

Business income interruption

Equipment breakdown coverage

Cyber Liability insurance

Protection against cyber incidents and data security issues

Cyber liability insurance, an add-on to general liability or professional liability coverage, could help protect your speech therapy practice if sensitive digital client information is lost, stolen or exposed. This coverage can be especially important for SLPs who handle HIPAA-regulated health information through electronic records or telehealth tools.

cyber liability can help you pay for:

Data breaches

Cyber attacks

System failures

Your number of employees
Your business’ annual revenue
State licensing rules
The coverage limits and deductible you choose

How can insurance for speech therapists help your business?

You might need speech therapist or speech pathologist insurance to help your business:

Respond to treatment-related legal claims against you. A professional liability insurance policy could help with your defense if a client claims a therapy error, documentation issue or unmet expectations caused harm or loss – even if you’re found not to be at fault.
Protect your workspace and equipment. Property insurance could help repair or replace your workspace, technology and office equipment after covered damages.
Deal with hacks and system failures that affect your business. If sensitive client data is exposed through a cyberattack or data breach, insurance may help cover some costs.
Hire employees. Most states require workers’ comp insurance for small businesses with employees.
Travel for sessions. If you or your employees drive to clients’ homes, schools or outpatient clinics, you may need commercial auto insurance for work-related driving.
