Did you know? Telepsychology/E-Services are included in the CPA/CPAP Professional Liability Insurance Policy

The CPA/CPAP Professional Liability insurance policy applies to telepsychology services delivered in Canada and worldwide. When delivering telepsychology services and in order for your insurance coverage to apply, you must be working within your scope of practice. You must also abide by the professional regulations in your jurisdiction (for instance, the province in which you reside) and in the jurisdiction where your patient is located.


Accessing the legal system is time consuming and expensive. CPA/CPAP members can obtain a range of legal insurance products to meet differing circumstances in your professional and personal lives.
