For Offices of Mental Health Practitioners (except Physicians), clarify the services, contracts and consequences of an error. Review professional liability (malpractice), duty to warn / failure to protect, patient self-harm or suicide. Confirm which professional activities and additional services the proposed coverage actually addresses.
Questions to ask
- What are the licensure types and credentials of all providers in the practice — LCSWs, LPCs, LMFTs, psychologists, counselors?
- Does the practice employ or supervise pre-licensed interns, residents, or associates — and is there documented supervision in place?
- Are telehealth services offered, and if so, which states are patients located in and do providers hold active licensure in those states?
- What patient populations are served — general outpatient, substance abuse, eating disorders, court-mandated, forensic, crisis?
- Is the professional liability policy written on a claims-made or occurrence basis, and is tail coverage in place for any prior claims-made policies?
- Has any provider in the practice had a professional liability claim, licensing board complaint, or disciplinary action in the past five years?
- Does the practice use an electronic health records system, and what security controls — encryption, multi-factor authentication, backups — are in place?
- Are there any employed administrative or clinical support staff, and does the practice have documented HR policies?

Services typically include individual, couples, family, and group therapy sessions, psychological testing and evaluation, and in some practices, case management or care coordination. Many practitioners operate solo or in small group practices; some contract with hospitals, schools, or EAPs.
