Who insures Body contouring?

Body contouring is a risk most standard carriers decline on sight. The markets below say in their own published appetite or program pages that they write it; each line links to that page with the date it was read.

2 markets publicly write Body contouring: Associated Skin Care Professionals (ASCP), Professional Program Insurance Brokerage (PPIB). 2 program administrators.

The markets

Who says they write it

From each market's own appetite, product or program page (or a trade article quoting it), read on the date shown. Appetites change: the linked page controls. A market listed here isn't necessarily one this agency is appointed with; a licensed broker reaches most of them directly or through a wholesaler.

ASCP is an association member program; its page names Allied Professionals Insurance Company as the billing insurer. Admiral entry is by substance (fat reduction / laser liposuction classes), not the literal term. Beauty and Bodywork Insurance pages returned empty content (JS-rendered) and could not be verified; HPSO, NSO, Insurance Canopy, Marine Agency and CM&F esthetician pages do not name body contouring.

How Body contouring gets placed

Standard markets first where any will look at it; when they won't, the placement goes through surplus lines, where a licensed surplus lines broker places it with an eligible non-admitted insurer and files the state's surplus lines tax and stamping forms. In California, risks on the Department of Insurance export list can go to surplus lines without the usual diligent search of admitted carriers. Surplus lines policies aren't backed by a state guaranty fund, so the insurer's financial rating matters more.

What an underwriter will want before quoting: a full description of the operation, years in business and the owners' experience, revenue or payroll, loss runs (five years where available, currently valued), the contracts or venue requirements that set the limits, and photos or safety plans where the hazard is physical.
