Professional Liability Insurance, also known as malpractice insurance, covers medical professionals for allegations of negligence, medical errors, or omissions during patient care. For acupuncturists, it provides financial protection and legal support if a patient claims your treatment caused harm. Professional liability policies may also provide coverage for administrative matters initiated by a licensing or regulatory body. While not required by most states or licensing boards, it is strongly recommended to protect your practice and personal assets in the event of an allegation/lawsuit.

Yes! Acupuncture Select™ offers coverage for all Licensed Acupuncturists in states where we issue policies [insert link to map]. This includes solo practitioners, group practices, schools, employees, independent contractors, partnerships, and corporations.

Acupuncture Select ™ provides coverage for licensed acupuncturists. Students are typically covered through their school for clinic work and externships. Once you complete your studies and receive your state license, you’ll be eligible to apply.

Yes. Acupuncture Select ™ covers services that fall within your state’s approved scope of practice for licensed acupuncturists. This includes cupping, Gua Sha, herbal therapy, cosmetic/facial acupuncture, microneedling, fertility treatment, pregnancy care, and labor and delivery. Because the scope of practice varies by state, we recommend confirming which services are permitted in your state.

Certain procedures—such as direct moxa, acupuncture for anesthesia, use of non-disposable needles, and practicing outside your licensed scope—are excluded from coverage. If you have questions about whether a specific technique or service is covered, please contact us at info@acupunctureselect.com.

This is a personal decision based your comfortability and overall risk tolerance. In most states there are no prescribed rules/laws requiring malpractice insurance and/or limits. In our experience, the most common coverage limits are $1 million per incident and $3 million annual aggregate. This is generally sufficient for most individual practitioners. For an additional cost, higher limits—such as $2 million/$4 million—are available and typically chosen by larger practices or when required by credentialing organizations or other contractual obligations.

Yes. Telehealth consultations and treatments are covered, as long as they fall within your state’s approved scope of practice and you are properly licensed (or otherwise authorized) in the state where the patient is physically located at the time of treatment. Licensing and telehealth regulations vary by state, so it’s important to confirm requirements before providing care across state lines.
