PhD/PsyD Postdoctoral Fellow Psychology Liability Insurance

[klp1031]

Any suggestions for affordable liability insurance as a postdoctoral fellow? I always had the student insurance, but the upgraded one is insanely expensive despite the fact that I am still under my supervisors' insurance policies.

In what kind of setting is your fellowship? Is it a private practice? Others may be able to give more guidance with that info.

During my fellowship, my liability insurance was paid by my employer and the same is true now as a licensed psychologist. I work in a clinic affiliated with an AMC. During my years in practicum, it was paid by my school.

I used The Trust post-doc until now. Reasonable cost and seamless transition when I was licensed. Discounts for new grads, CEs, and more. I haven't ever needed to use it, so I can't speak to that side of it, but it is certainly affordable IMO. View Professional Liability Insurance Policy Discounts | The Trust

The Trust and American Professional Agency are the two companies that immediately spring to mind for me (although I'm no longer a fellow).

I stuck with the trust as a postdoc, even though I was covered under my employer. It made the most sense for me and I am glad I continued the policy without interruption. But yes, I do remember that price jump. I wasn't able to find any other reasonable alternatives other than being offered a discount by American Professional Agency to switch over. It wasn't enough to make it worthwhile to me though.
