Insurance Coverage Options for Laser Tattoo Removal Clinics

If you are thinking of opening a new Laser Tattoo Removal Clinic there are several important questions to ask before you start your insurance coverage search:

  1.  Who is allowed to perform laser tattoo removal in my state ?
  2.  Does my state require me to have a license to work with a laser ?
  3. Can I own the facility but not participate in day to day operations ?
  4. Do I need to have a physician as a medical director ?
  5. Is the medical director required to see patients or are they in a supervisory role only ?
  6. How will you handle patient records ?
  7. Do HIPPA laws apply to me ?
  8. Is my laser covered ? What if it breaks down and I lose out on revenue during this period ?

The answers to these questions and more will determine the eventual costs and type of insurance coverage you will need.

General Liability Insurance

At a minimum a business will typically need to have general liability insurance, this covers items such as (slips and falls, fire, theft, etc.) at the facility you own or lease. You will also want to inquire about coverage for the laser itself, typically this falls under business property coverage and can be coupled with your general liability policy.

Medical Professional Liability Insurance

Medical professional liability insurance to cover you for treatment or procedures that you perform with a laser. You can obtain a policy from one carrier that covers both general and professional liability or have policies from separate carriers. In some cases it makes sense to place your general liability and business property coverage with a carrier that specializes in general liability and your medical professional liability with a carrier who specializes in professional liability.
