What is optometrist insurance?

Optometrist insurance is coverage for optometrists – whether they work within a larger organization or run their own practice. If that’s you, then consider investing in insurance to ensure you have the necessary finances to deal with a potential lawsuit and other unexpected expenses.

For example, if you accidently misdiagnose a clinic vision, and they end up getting the wrong prescription contact lenses causing eye strain, you can have an expensive lawsuite on your hands. With insurance, youre provider will cover any associated costs, but without, it would all have to come out of your pocket. If the amount is negligible, you’ll get through it, but if it’s thousands upon thousands of dollars, then you will take a financial hit. There’s no reason to take such risks. Insurance costs money, sure, but it’s an expected expense that you can budget for. You can’t really budget for a disaster, no matter how hard you try.

Larger businesses with more than a dozen employees might actually pay far more – from $5,000 to $10,000 a year.

Here are some of the factors that will play a role in determining your premiums:

To find out your actual rate, your best bet is to contact insurers directly – either via a broker or a comparison site like LowestRates.ca, where you can secure comprehensive coverage in minutes.
