Professional Liability Insurance
Designed specifically with pharmacists in mind
RxA is dedicated to provide our members with the relevant tools and resources to succeed professionally. This is why we we offer claims-made professional liability insurance through the Canadian Pharmacists Benefits Association (CPBA).
What are the insurance requirements?
All pharmacists on the Alberta College of Pharmacists (ACP) clinical register must provide proof of a minimum of $2,000,000 personal liability insurance. For more details visit the
ACP website.
What are my options when it comes to professional liability insurance?
All insurance offerings are not created equal. Each pharmacist should understand their requirements for insurance and ensure their selected insurance option is appropriate for their circumstances.
What is available through RxA?
The CPBA professional liability insurance offered through RxA exceeds ACP requirements and is well-suited for traditional roles as well as expanding scope of practice.
- Optional $2 million professional liability insurance exclusive to RxA members that meets ACP licensing requirements.
- Professional liability insurance coverage is available in higher increments
(2/4 m aggregate and 5 million coverage available)
- Claims-made insurance. The policy covers claims first made during the policy term.
