Understanding Insurance: FAQs

What does my student insurance cover me for and how long can I remain at that level?
The student level insurance provides liability coverage for both on/off premises activities that are approved by the school and are permitted under applicable state and local regulations. It does not cover a student if they are working on their own (without school approval) and charging clients. A student may receive compensation if it is allowed by the state as long as it is a school-approved activity. A member can remain at the student level for the duration of their schooling until graduation with a maximum of one year's coverage, whichever occurs first.

Why is insurance so important?
You insure your car, even though you don't expect to be in an accident. You cover your home too, if you own one, even though the odds are it won't burn down. Why? Because without insurance, it would be a financial catastrophe if your unlucky number came up.

That's the same reason why commercial liability insurance offers essential protection and peace of mind for professional massage, bodywork and esthetic practitioners. You may be fortunate and never get sued or be named in a damage claim. But in this age of lawsuit-happy, get-rich-quick opportunists, and with many people uncomfortable about someone else touching their body, wise massage professionals acquire solid insurance protection.

Commercial liability protection not only covers you if you're found to be at fault, but also provides for your legal defense. Without it, you could be out tens of thousands of dollars just to defend yourself against a frivolous or false claim or even as the result of fallout from a misunderstanding.

Your colleagues have told ITTA/ABMP what insurance protection massage professionals desire. We listened.

We proudly present the broadest insurance coverage offered by any association serving the massage, somatic, and esthetic professions: $2 million per incident with an annual limit of $3 million in three different categories, for a total of $9 million combined.

What is "being insured"?
The ITTA/ ABMP occurrence form liability policy provides coverage for your Thai Yoga/ Thai Massage operations for Bodily Injury, Personal Injury, and Property Damage up to the above limits, plus $100,000 for fire damage to premises you rent. "Occurrence form" means coverage continues if a claim is filed at a later date for an incident that occurred while you were still an insured member. Coverage includes liability arising out of your Premises and Operations, your Professional Liability, and manufactured products you resell. The insurer will also defend you if someone sues you alleging your wrongdoing in one of these areas; those legal expenses are covered in addition to the above policy limits. The policy contains a number of terms, conditions and exclusions. We offer single modality coverage for Thai Yoga/ Thai Massage. Massage Therapy coverage is available but subject to specific terms and regulation.
