What is...
acupuncture insurance?
Acupuncture is all about precision, balance, and well-being, but running a practice comes with its own set of risks. Whether you’re treating clients in a clinic, spa, or on a mobile basis, acupuncture insurance could help protect you against claims, damaged equipment, and unexpected setbacks.
At Bionic, we can help you find the right cover so you can focus on your clients, knowing your business is protected.
What type of acupuncturists are covered?
If you’re an acupuncture practitioner, the right insurance is essential for your business. Bionic can help find cover for:
- Traditional acupuncturists — Specialising in holistic healing.
- Sports and rehabilitation acupuncturists — Treating injuries and aiding recovery.
- Freelance and mobile acupuncturists — Providing home or on-location treatments.
We are unable to arrange cover for medical acupuncturists who work alongside healthcare providers administering any medical treatment.
Why do acupuncturists need insurance?
Acupuncture is a highly skilled practice, but even the most experienced professionals can face risks. The right insurance can help keep your business covered in situations like:
- A client claims they were injured during treatment
- Your acupuncture equipment is stolen or damaged
- A client slips and falls in your treatment space
- You injure yourself while performing a treatment
With the right policy in place, you can focus on delivering expert care without the stress of the what-ifs.
What does acupuncture insurance cover?
Policies will vary per provider, and terms and conditions apply, so always check the small print in your policy wording to see what’s included and excluded. Your insurance package could include:
Employers’ liability insurance
In case an employee gets ill or injured because of the work they do for you. A legal requirement if you have employees.
Public liability insurance
Cover claims if a client has a reaction to products or materials used during treatment.
Professional indemnity insurance
Protects against claims of negligence or injury during treatment.
Business equipment insurance
Covers damage or theft of acupuncture needles, massage tables, and other treatment tools.
Product liability insurance
Protects you if a client has a reaction to products or materials you’ve sold them.
What doesn’t it cover?
While acupuncture insurance covers a lot, there are some exclusions, including:
- Intentional harm – Deliberate injury caused during treatment isn’t covered.
- Neglect – Failing to maintain or secure your workspace can void your policy.
- General wear and tear – Normal use of needles, beds, and equipment isn’t included.
Double-check your policy details or speak to our team if you have any questions about what’s covered and what isn’t
How much does acupuncture cover cost?
Because all acupuncturists are different, it’s difficult to give a solid figure for what you’ll be paying for this insurance without speaking to a broker. This is because your business is unique, and prices depend on a number of factors, including:
- Where you work — A clinic setup may have different requirements than a mobile practice.
- The equipment you use — High-value tools and specialist treatments may increase premiums.
- Extent of cover — The more cover you opt for, the more expensive your package will likely be.
- Your insurer — Depending on who is willing to insure you, the price for their policies will vary.
Claims history — If you’ve made a previous claim on your policy or had claims made against you, it may affect your future premiums.
Are acupuncture and dry needling the same?
Both involve needles, but acupuncture is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine stimulating the nerves and the muscles, while dry needling is a Western treatment used to target muscle pain. Insurance policies may differ for each, so it’s important to choose the right cover for your practice.
Are you covered to offer other treatments?
If you provide additional therapies, such as cupping, herbal medicine, or massage, you’ll need a policy that covers multiple treatments. Bionic can help you find the right insurance for all your services.
