Med Spa & Aesthetician Insurance
Your Med Spa Runs on Delegated Medical Procedures. Your Policy Should Be Written That Way.
A general business policy will not answer a treatment claim, and a lot of med spas find that out the hard way. Premier Group Insurance places med spa coverage with carriers who understand delegation, supervision, and the equipment you actually run, shopping across more than 25 carriers to do it.
What Med Spa Insurance Covers
A med spa carries three different kinds of exposure at once: the procedure, the premises, and the equipment. One policy does not answer all three, which is why this coverage gets built as a package rather than bought off a shelf.
| Medical Malpractice | Claims arising from the treatment itself. A burn, a scar, an adverse reaction, an outcome the patient says was caused by how the procedure was performed. This is the core of a med spa policy and the piece a general business policy does not include. |
| General Liability | The premises exposure. Someone slips in the lobby, or a piece of property gets damaged. Physical harm that has nothing to do with a treatment. |
| Product Liability | Claims involving the products you inject, apply, or sell. Relevant whether you are administering a filler or selling skincare at the front desk. |
| Equipment and Property | Lasers, IPL, RF devices, and the rest of your capital equipment, plus the space itself. Replacement cost on a laser is significant enough that this row is not a formality. |
| Workers Compensation | Required in Colorado once you have one or more employees, including injectors and front desk staff. Written separately from everything above. |
| Cyber Liability | Patient records are protected health information. A breach triggers notification obligations and the costs that come with them. Increasingly written alongside the malpractice rather than as an afterthought. |
Who Needs Med Spa Coverage?
If a procedure at your business breaks the skin, uses energy, or requires a prescription product, you are in medical territory regardless of what the sign out front says. That is the line that decides what kind of policy you need.
Med Spas and Aesthetic Practices
Full-service med spas, injectable clinics, laser and body contouring practices, and aesthetic dermatology or plastic surgery offices running a spa arm. These carry the widest exposure because they combine procedures, equipment, and retail product in one location.
Individual Providers
Injectors, registered nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and laser technicians. If you work under someone else’s medical director, their policy may or may not extend to you, and assuming it does is a common and expensive mistake. We look at whether you need your own coverage alongside theirs.
Estheticians and Wellness Practices
Licensed estheticians, skincare studios, and wellness practices offering non-medical services. Your exposure is different and usually cheaper to cover, but the moment your menu adds a medical-aesthetic service the policy has to change with it. Tell us what is on the menu, not just what your license says.
Colorado’s Delegation and Disclosure Rules
Colorado regulates med spas more specifically than most states, and the rules touch your insurance directly. A carrier underwriting your practice is looking at the same structure a regulator would look at, so a compliance problem and a coverage problem tend to arrive together.
The Medical Director Requirement
A Colorado med spa needs a Colorado-licensed medical director who is actively involved in the practice, and the director’s license information has to be displayed. Underwriters ask about this early, because the supervision structure is what determines whose policy responds when a treatment claim comes in.
Corporate Practice of Medicine
Colorado limits who can own a practice that delivers medical services. Non-physician owners typically operate through a management services structure that separates the clinical side from the business side. How your entity is built affects how the policy has to be written, and getting the named insureds wrong is a quiet way to end up with a claim denied.
The 2025 Disclosure Law
Colorado HB 1024 took effect in 2025 and applies when medical-aesthetic services are delegated to an unlicensed person. It requires a visible sign at the location with the delegating practitioner’s name and license number, the same disclosure in advertising and on your website, and an informed consent document that patients sign and you retain for seven years.
The insurance angle is straightforward. Documented consent and a clean delegation structure are the first things anyone asks for when a claim gets filed. Practices that already run this way tend to price better and defend better.

Why Carrier Fit Matters More in This Class
Med spa is a small, specialized class, and the number of carriers willing to write it well is short. That is exactly the situation where the size of a broker’s carrier network stops being a talking point and starts being the whole thing.
The failure mode we see most often is a med spa carrying a general business policy that was never built for procedures. It looks like coverage and it costs like coverage, right up until a treatment claim arrives and the malpractice exposure turns out to be excluded. Nobody set out to under-insure the practice. They just bought from someone who did not write this class.
Carrier appetite here is also unusually specific about what is on your menu. Some will write injectables but not energy devices. Some draw the line at body contouring or at anything involving prescription weight-loss medication. Adding one service can put you outside your current carrier’s appetite without anyone telling you.
We ask what is actually on the menu, who performs each service, and who supervises. Then we go to the carriers that write that combination. If you are adding a service or a device this year, tell us before you launch rather than at renewal.
How It Works
1. Tell us What is on The Menu
Every service you offer, who performs it, who supervises, what devices you run, and how your entity is structured. This class lives in the details.
2. We Shop 25+ Carriers
We go to the carriers that write med spa specifically, and match your service menu to their appetite rather than hoping a general policy stretches to cover it.
3. You Choose
We walk through what each policy answers, where the malpractice limit sits, and what happens if you add a service mid-term.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does My General Liability Policy Cover a Bad Treatment Outcome?
No. General liability covers physical harm to third parties on your premises, like a slip in the lobby. A claim about how a procedure was performed is a malpractice claim, and it needs medical malpractice coverage written for aesthetic practice.
I Work as an Injector Under Someone Else’s Medical Director. Do I Need my Own Policy?
Often yes. The practice’s policy is written to protect the practice, and whether it extends to you individually depends on how it is structured and whether you are an employee or a contractor. Send us the declarations page and we will tell you what it actually does for you.
How Much Does Med Spa Insurance Cost?
It depends on your service menu, your devices, your revenue, your claims history, and how many providers you have. Injectables and energy devices price differently from facials and skincare. A quote starts with the menu, not a number.
Does The Colorado Disclosure Law Change my Insurance?
It does not change the policy itself, but it changes what a carrier and a plaintiff’s attorney will look for. Signage, advertising disclosures, and signed consent forms retained for seven years are the documentation that supports a defense. Practices with that in order are easier to place and easier to defend.
We Are Adding a New Device. Do I Need to Tell You?
Yes, and before you launch rather than after. Carriers write specific service menus, and a device that falls outside your carrier’s appetite can affect coverage on everything else. It is a five minute conversation that avoids a real problem.
Can You Write us if we Have Had a Claim?
Usually, though it shortens the carrier list and affects pricing. In a small class like this one, having a broker who can reach the whole market matters more after a claim than before it.
