Malpractice Insurance
Mandatory malpractice insurance coverage
While your status as an active member gives you rights, it also imposes certain obligations on you to protect the public. One of these obligations is participation in a group professional liability insurance plan. It is therefore now mandatory that every ACMA member send us a copy of their malpractice insurance policy annually, 2 weeks prior to their insurance renewal date. It is your responsibility to have adequate cover and to prove it.
ACMA Association is committed to providing its members with outstanding support and resources, which includes an exceptional professional liability insurance program. Starting at an affordable rate of just $200 per year, this program is offered through the reputable broker "La Turquoise." This partnership ensures that members receive comprehensive coverage and unparalleled service. However, the ACMA Association understands the importance of flexibility and personal preference. As such, members are encouraged to explore and select the broker of their choice for their insurance needs, ensuring they find the perfect fit for their unique professional requirements.
