Yes, they can be. If they are employees of the insured, they should have them covered under their policy. If they are independent contractors who are working under your client’s business name then we can also include them. If they are working under a different business name then they will need to obtain their own coverage and name your client as an additional insured.

The cost of laser hair removal insurance can vary based on several factors. Insurance providers consider these factors when determining the premium for a policy. Here are some key factors that influence the cost of laser insurance:

1. Size and scope of business – The size of the business, whether it’s a large spa with multiple types of operations or just 1 small suite with a 1 person operating the device can impact the insurance cost. Larger facilities that offer more services may have higher premiums due to an increased risk and liability associated with more clients coming into the spa. Also, for Laser & IPL services, pricing also factors in how many technicians use the device.
2. Types of additional services – Some services are more invasive than others which create more long-term problems if a claim were to arise. Therefore, the type of services being performed may impact the insurance cost.
3. Claims history – Insurance companies consider the claims/lawsuit history of the Laser & IPL business when determining the cost of coverage. If the insured has a history of claims/lawsuits, it may result in higher premiums.
4. Safety measures and risk management practices – Insurance providers assess the safety measures and risk management practices implemented by your business. Having robust safety protocols, ensuring your employees and you are properly trained for all services being performed and regular maintenance practices can help lower insurance costs by reducing the likelihood of accidents and claims.

Yes, Laser insurance policies typically have exclusions or limitation that outline specific situation or circumstances where coverage may not apply or may be limited. These exclusions and limitation can vary depending on the service being provided. Some of the main Exclusions are:

1. Work on any raised tissue with its own blood supply, except for veins and/or cherry hemangiomas (no more than 3.0mm in diameter)
2. Work on skin that is ulcerated, broken, not intact, blistered or has open sores.
3. Eye area work unless an eye shield is used.
4. Failure to use goggles on non-eye work
5. Use of EMLA with Laser/IPL hair removal work (EMLA is OK for other procedures, just not in conjunction with Laser/IPL hair removal).
6. Coverage for Skin Types V & VI requires six months of experience and may only be done using FDA approved Light/Energy devices for those Skin Types.
7. Any laser or IPL work being done by someone who does not have 30 hours of Laser / IPL-specific training or one year of Laser / IPL-specific experience.

It’s important to carefully review your insurance quote and policy and understand the exclusions and limitation that may apply.
