Is it necessary for me to obtain liability insurance from my College of Optometrists?
No, obtaining liability insurance exclusively from your College of optometry shouldn’t be mandatory. You have the flexibility to purchase insurance coverage from other sources as well. Consider consulting an advisor who can provide insights on the benefits of bundling your insurance, such as professional liability for malpractice and a business owner’s policy to cover your property. This approach may result in cost savings compared to purchasing the insurance policies separately.
