Errors & Omissions and Commercial General Liability insurance protect patients, genetic counsellors, and healthcare systems by promoting accountability and safety. This coverage also enables genetic counsellors to create new job opportunities and help advance the profession.
Some hospitals or clinics may recommend that genetic counsellors maintain their own professional insurance in addition to any employer-provided insurance.
Furthermore, liability insurance will likely become a requirement if genetic counsellors achieve regulation in Canada.
Wilson M. Beck (WMB) Insurance Services currently offers preferred pricing options for Canadian genetic counsellors through the Genetic Counsellors Liability Insurance Program.
