Medical Malpractice Insurance

Coverage applies only for professional services provided within Canada.

General Liability Insurance
In some jurisdictions, carrying General Liability insurance is mandatory under local licensing requirements. Most building landlords require such insurance, as well as clinics in which a member may work as an independent contractor.
General Liability coverage provides a limit of $3,000,000 per occurrence for bodily injury or property damage claims arising out of the operation of members' businesses, excluding malpractice (covered under medical malpractice policy).
