As many of you know, there have been many recent issues with the only carrier of insurance for hypnotists. For those not in the know, let me simply state that the current carrier of many of our liability policies has taken steps many in the industry do not consider good for our careers or financial protection.
To this point, there has only been one carrier and that needs to change. And so, Justin James, has done a lot of legwork to get another carrier to also offer us insurance products. In order to have an offering, there has to be a group willing to purchase policies. This only applies to USA customers. Rather than try to re-explain it, let me simply repost the email seeking responses and my hope is that you will respond by considering this group. If you have questions, direct them to Justin James JJhypnotist@gmail.com He can answer many questions. Here is the letter from the insurance company sent to Justin James: Justin, The underwriter for our existing mobile entertainer insurance program is interested in offering insurance to hypnotists. The estimated annual costs would be around $350 for premium and processing for a $1,000,000 occurrence / $2,000,000 aggregate general liability policy. To qualify, each hypnotist would need to take an online stage safety tutorial and answer the questions that follow. The carrier will have to do a hypnotist filing to the insurance department. Before the underwriter commits resources he needs to know how many hypnotists will purchase this insurance at this cost. Please send this email to all you think are interested and ask they respond directly to me so I can compile an exact number of responses. My email address is Dale.Wittick@HRH.com (cc your email to Dale to Justin James also at JJhypnotist@gmail.com) You also requested information about HRH and our current mobile entertainer program. HRH is the 8th largest publicly traded insurance brokerage, trades on the NYSE and has over 120 offices across the county. One of my clients is the largest mobile entertainer association in the country generating over $600,000 in premium annually from their members. HRH facilitates their insurance benefit offered to the members. They have offered a URL on their website to host the stage safety tutorial with no charge to any hypnotist. They had been discussing the creation of just such a member benefit. Time is of the essence for responses. I will let you know how many I receive by Friday afternoon. If there are enough I can get the insurer to proceed with the filing. Cordially, Dale Wittick, Jr. CPCU Vice President HRH Online E-insurance Operations Email from Justin that he sent out to many: Now I have done considerable leg work on this to be able to present an adaquate alternative. What I need now though is your help! If you are interested in switching Insurance carriers then I need you to send an email to new carrier expressing interest and cc me on the email so I can check you off on the list. My email is jjhypnotist@gmail.com & the carriers is dale.wittick@hrh.com please send them the email stating that yes you are interested We need approximately 200 people to get a decent group for the carrier.. To do that you must take action. The Carrier has appointed me point person on this as an advocate for all of us I do not hold any insurance licenses and the pay I will receive is the fact that I can get insurance. Nothing else. That goes the same for the people who have volunteered to help build the program So Please if you have not done so already please Email dale.wittick@hrh.com and cc jjhypnotist@gmail.com You can comment and please state that you are interested or not again these guys need a headcount ASAP if we are going to do anything here are the coverage basics 350.00 a yr + the safety class is free and online $1,000,000 of individual liability coverage Venue owners are automatically included as additional insureds No policy fees, additional insured certificate fees, or taxes Office equipment, furniture and fixture coverage is offered 150.00 for 15k coverage Insurance carrier that specializes in program business and is rated "A" (Excellent) by AM Best 60.00 per additional employee I.E. Stage assistant coverage! The following letter is direct from the carrier and you can email me or call 702-285-0199 if you have questions *******In posting this I am not offering insurance or endorsing any products, merely passing along info, my hope is that all companies offering insurance offer quality products, and believe you can make your own choices, but I do think choices is good for the business. Whatever choice you make is your own decision, but consider the need for expanded choices.********

It is a done deal. They will write us a policy. If you are a stage hypnotist you MUST get insurance to cover your rear and a certificate of coverage is often required for many places you may work.
Contact Justin James JJhypnotist@gmail.com 702-285-0199 and he can tell you how this coverage is available to you.
