What Vermont Professionals Need Massage Insurance?
The vast majority of professionals who offer massage services in Vermont ought to carry massage insurance. This includes masseuses and massage therapists who offer any type of massage. Not being insured leaves people susceptible to risk, and this is typically the most appropriate type of insurance when giving massages.
Businesses that offer other services in addition to massages usually need the coverages that are included in a massage policy but may also need other protections. In these situations, an informed insurance agent who’s familiar with massage policies can provide advice as to what type of insurance is most appropriate. Sometimes a massage policy is sufficient, but other times a day spa or other policy is more appropriate.
Do Massage Therapists Who Work as Employees Need Their Own Insurance?
Many massage therapists who work as employees of a business receive insurance coverage through their employer, but not all do. Before assuming that an employer’s policy is suitable, therapists should review any coverage that their employer does offer with an experienced agent. Only after reviewing an employer’s coverage can therapists make an informed decision as to whether they need their own policy.
When therapists do receive coverage through their employer, they still need to make sure that all of the work they do is covered. Most employer policies apply to work that’s done for the employer but not any additional massage services. If therapists moonlight on their own, that activity likely won’t be covered by an employer’s policy and a separate policy for this side work usually ought to be purchased.
Do Massage Students Need Their Own Insurance?
Most schools that offer massage therapist training programs have insurance coverage that extends to their students. As is typically the case with employer-provided policies, policies from schools normally only give coverage for services given as part of a training program. Free massages to friends and gig work generally aren’t covered by a school.
