Professional Liability Insurance (PLI) - Alberta College of Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists


How can I get PLI/What is my certificate number?	You must provide your own PLI. Employer coverage is not accepted. BMS (the SAC provider) and MyGroup Insurance Broker Limited both provide the type of coverage ACSLPA requires, including an extended reporting period of two years (so that if you cease practicing you are still covered for 2 years for any complaints that might come in “after the fact”). All individuals insured through SAC (with BMS) share the same policy number (called “group policy” in the system). You must supply your individual certificate number (you can find this on your insurance certificate). Please refer to the ACSLPA website “PLI requirements” for further information regarding requirements and links to insurance providers.
I’m going on maternity leave – do I still need insurance?	ACSLPA requires all members holding a practice permit to hold their own PLI policy. Members who do not hold a current practice permit are not required to have PLI.
