Run Off Cover
For those no longer in private practice, we have also negotiated a reduction in the cost of Run Off cover rates.
For Occupational Therapists ceasing private practice or retiring from private practice, it is advisable that you secure insurance cover to protect you in case there is a retrospective claim against you when you have finished working. This type of insurance is called Run-Off Cover and we have introduced a policy for members which covers you for Malpractice, Public Liability and Professional Indemnity.
To avail of this run-off cover you must continue your membership with the AOTI for the duration of the run-off period. Below is a breakdown of the cost of this insurance.
