Do Lactation Consultants Need Insurance?

Lactation consultants offer essential support to new moms and babies, guiding them through breastfeeding and addressing any related issues. Yet, there’s always a chance of things going south during consultations. Lactation consultant insurance steps in to shield you from any blame if something goes wrong, like providing incorrect advice that could harm the mother or baby. It’s not just about protection—insurance for lactation consultants also helps with financial support in case legal issues arise from client claims.

Having insurance is a must for lactation consultants, ensuring that you can keep offering your services while keeping potential risks in check.

How Much Does Lactation Consultants Insurance Cost?

Our lactation consultant insurance policy starts at $229 a year or $21.08 a month. The cost can vary depending on the following factors:

  • Your business’s gross income
  • Selected coverages
  • Coverage limits

The potential liabilities of a lactation consultant vary based on circumstances and practice scope. One potential issue is a malpractice claim, where the consultant may be held accountable for harm resulting from their advice or treatment. Another concern is general liability, like a slip and fall in the consultant’s office or during a home visit. Risks also exist regarding client information confidentiality. 

To safeguard against these, lactation consultants typically have professional liability (errors and omissions) and general liability insurance. These cover legal expenses, settlements, or judgments in case of a claim or lawsuit.
