Have questions about CM&F professional liability insurance policies?
View our full library of our most frequently asked questions.
What is the difference between "per occurrence" vs. "aggregate" liability limits?

Your “per occurrence,” sometimes written as “per claim,” limit refers to the total amount the insurance company will pay per incident during the policy term. Your “aggregate” limit is the total amount the insurance company will pay for multiple claims over the course of one policy term (which is often one year).

Do I need occurrence or claims made coverage?

“Occurrence” or “claims made” refers to the type of policy coverage you’d be purchasing. This affects when you are able to report a claim on your policy.

What is a claims made policy?
You are only able to report a claim on a claims made policy while the policy is active. For instance, if you let your policy expire, and then six months later a former patient brings a lawsuit against you for an incident which occurred during the policy period, a claims made policy would no longer cover that claim (unless you purchased an Extended Reporting Endorsement, or “Tail Coverage”).

What is an occurrence policy?
An occurrence policy covers you indefinitely for incidents that occur within the policy period, meaning you are covered for the time period during which you had the policy even if it is no longer active. It is essentially the same as a claims made policy with a built-in Tail.

How quickly can I get liability insurance coverage?

I am self-employed. Can I apply for coverage?

Yes, we cover self-employed healthcare professionals. If you are self-employed and employ more than just yourself, please proceed with the group application on this page. If however you do not have any employees, you may apply for individual professional liability insurance coverage – be sure to select “Self Employed” when choosing your employment status.

How do I transfer my existing liability policy under another company to CM&F so that there is no gap in time of coverage?

If you have an occurrence policy, you can simply purchase the CM&F professional liability insurance policy when the policy with your current insurance provider expires. When using our online application, you are able to select your coverage date at least 30 days in advance, so you don't have to worry about coming back to apply on the exact day.

If your current policy is a claims-made policy, it is best to discuss the transition options with a CM&F service professional. We will help to ensure there are no gaps in your liability insurance coverage.

Can I add additional insured?

You may add additional insured to your group liability policy at anytime. This can be done during the application process, as well as throughout the lifetime of the policy.
