[humanser] humanser Digest, Vol 134, Issue 1 1. Question about Professional Liability insurance (Janice Toothman)

Sun Aug 2 16:35:35 UTC 2015

Janice, 
Most agencies will cover you, even if it is to protect themselves but it
will also cover you. You may want to inquire to see what amout and type of
coverage is customary for any agency to have on an employee

Good Afternoon Everyone,

I hope that everyone is staying cool in the heat and humidity of summer.

My professional liability insurance with HPSO will expire on August 14.  
Because I am a "New Professional" they raised the price from the student
price of $39 to $114.

I had originally had to acquire my own liability insurance as part of doing
my counseling practicum/internship during my final year of school.  I paid
it my first year out of school even though I am not currently working as a
counselor.

  Although I hope it will be soon, since I take my State Ethics examination
later this month provided the NFB legal department can assist me with
accommodations.  Then I will have my Licensed Graduate Professional
Counselor certificate that will make me more marketable.

Do you all think I should renew my liability insurance despite not having a
job yet?  Someone told me that I would be covered under an agency liability
insurance, if I am hired by an agency so I would not need my own unless I am
in private practice, which I can not do until I complete my 3000 supervised
clinical hours.
Janice

Glad I could be of some help. I'm not too thrilled with learning technology
either but I'm getting better and I'm a lot younger than you.
