If you have a business entity that provides outpatient mental health services, it is important the corporate name is protected under your insurance policy. Apply for a business entity policy to protect your business, its owners, and its employees under one policy.
Your policy can be effective as early as the day we receive your application, and we will underwrite and process a quote within 48 hours. Payment is due within 30 days of your effective date.
Benefits of Corporate Coverage
Why do one-person business need to apply for corporate coverage?
If a claim or lawsuit arises from your professional services, it’s possible for your business entity to be named in the lawsuit. An individual policy will not provide any coverage for your business entity for claims, incidents, or lawsuits arising from your professional services.
Will a policy under my individual name cover my business if I’m the sole owner?
No, an individual policy will only cover you as an individual provider and does not cover your business entity, even if you are the sole owner or employee.
Can I simply add my business as an additional insured on my individual policy?
No, you cannot add a business entity you own or operate as an additional insured. You must upgrade your policy from individual to corporate coverage in order to appropriately cover your business entity.
Corporate coverage is rated differently than individual coverage, but does not always guarantee there will be an increase. Your corporate application is subject to underwriting review.
