Professional Liability Insurance

All regulated members of the College of Alberta Denturists are required to hold Professional Liability Insurance (PLI) at all times during their registration. This is a requirement of the Health Professions Act and the College Bylaws.

PLI is in place to protect both the patient and the member.  By having PLI, a member is protected professionally and financially from claims (real, alleged or false) made against the member as a result of rendering professional services.  The patient is protected should the claim be substantiated, and damages awarded.

Starting in 2026, full PLI requirements may be found in the College Bylaws; however, the main components of the required policy include:

• a limit of a minimum of $1,000,000 per occurrence with a $5,000,000 annual aggregate;
• legal defense coverage for the regulated member with a liability limit of at least $50,000 per occurrence and annual aggregate; and
• an extended reporting period of a minimum of three years.

There are many vendors from which an applicant may source PLI.  The Denturist Association of Alberta administers a plan that meets the requirements of the College.  You may also source PLI individually.

Should you have any questions about PLI or these requirements, please contact the College.
