What is chiropractor insurance? 

Insurance for chiropractors helps protect you from common events that could cripple your small business.

As a chiropractor, you provide essential care to help patients manage their aches and pains. However, even a minor error could result in potentially major repercussions and costly liability claims. Chiropractors may also face other risks beyond patient injury or harm, like equipment damage and theft.

That’s why BizCover offers customisable cover options that can meet your specific insurance needs. Compare multiple quotes and get instant cover online in minutes!

Professional Indemnity requirements for chiropractors

Professional Indemnity insurance is a legal requirement for practicing chiropractors in Australia. The Chiropractic Board of Australia and the Australian Health Practitioner Registration Agency (AHPRA) requires chiropractors to have “adequate and appropriate” Professional Indemnity cover. Factors that may impact the amount of cover you need, include:

  • The types of chiropractic services you provide – Some activities may carry higher risk of patient injury or harm
  • How many people are covered by the policy – Just you, or several chiros working for your practice
  • Limits specified in business contracts – If you provide freelance chiropractic care in other settings, such as a community health centre

Getting a Professional Indemnity policy is more than just ticking a box. It’s also an important part of protecting your chiropractic practice. Subject to applicable limits, Professional Indemnity insurance will meet the associated compensation payable to a third party together with your defence costs (which can include legal costs, investigator costs and expert fees).

Underinsurance

We know it’s tempting to select a lower level of cover to reduce premiums, but this can leave businesses shocked and insufficiently covered when making a claim.

Ways underinsurance catches business owners out:

Inflation

With inflation, the cost of living and doing business increases. Remember to over yourself, your tools and assets for the rising costs of replacing or covering them, not what you paid for them – you may be surprised at the difference.

Not covering the full cost of your risks

If you select cover levels for less than the value you may be found liable – left out of pocket when it comes to claims time. It’s important to review your risks and determine how much you will need to cover any claim that may come your way.
