For Diet and Weight Reducing Centers, clarify the services, contracts and consequences of an error. Review professional liability, product liability, premises liability. Confirm which professional activities and additional services the proposed coverage actually addresses.
Questions to ask
- Are any medical professionals, nurses, or dietitians on staff — or is the program entirely non-medical counseling?
- Does the center sell food supplements, meal replacements, or packaged food products, and if so, are these third-party brands or proprietary/private-label?
- What is the approximate split between service revenue and product sales revenue?
- Are counseling services offered remotely or online in addition to in-person, and if so, in which states?
- How does the center store and protect client health and biometric data — what systems are used?
- Are exercise or physical fitness components part of the program, and is any fitness equipment on the premises?
- Has the business had any prior claims related to client health outcomes, supplements, or program results?
- Does the center operate under a franchise agreement, and if so, does the franchisor provide any coverage?
