Massage Therapist insurance in Idaho — FAQ

Do massage therapists need insurance?+

How much does massage therapist insurance cost?+

A combined general and professional liability policy typically costs $250–$650 per year. Many associations bundle both into a single annual policy.

Do I need insurance if I work at a spa?+

Usually yes — most spas classify therapists as independent contractors and require you to carry your own liability policy. The spa's insurance protects the spa, not you.
