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within the policy period, meaning you are covered for the time period during which you had the policy even if it is no longer active.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.

For our Allied Health clients:
All CM&F insurance products include occurrence coverage, and so you never have to worry about purchasing tail coverage!

How quickly can I get liability insurance coverage?

If you apply for coverage online via CM&F’s secure Insured Access Portal, you can pay for and receive proof of coverage in just MINUTES! If you have the ability to pay with a credit card, we recommend applying for coverage online. Once you submit your application, you are emailed your coverage documents in minutes – No Delay, No Headache.

Your documents are also available for access 24/7 in your personal insured access portal account. Within the portal, all clients are able to download, print, or email their documents whenever needed.

If you are unable to purchase coverage online, please contact us for a paper application. We can accept applications through the mail or via fax. Please know, this can delay the receipt of your coverage documents by a few weeks due to processing and shipping time.

Are your liability insurance plans flexible and customizable to the coverage options I need?

Our insurance plans are extremely flexible. We offer full-time, part-time, moonlighting or contracting policies for almost all professionals. Your coverage follows you wherever you work, 24/7.

I am studying to become an NP. Do I need an additional student policy?

You only need ONE policy – the NP Student Liability Insurance policy. This policy is designed to support you in your everyday work as a registered RN and seamlessly extends coverage into your NP student clinicals.

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

Yes, we cover self-employed healthcare professionals. Please select “Self-employed” in the dropdown when choosing employment status. If however you are self-employed and employ more than just yourself, please complete the group application.

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 policy at anytime. This can be done during the application process, as well as throughout the lifetime of the policy.
