Office Overhead Insurance for CPA Members

Office Overhead Plan

If you operate your own business, Office Overhead Insurance gives you a simple, budget-friendly way to ensure that your day-to-day business and operating expenses are covered in the event that a serious accident or illness prevents you from working. The monthly benefit can be used towards obligations like utilities, rent and salaries, and helping to ensure your doors stay open while you are recovering.

Benefits payable

The plan will provide reimbursement for incurred expenses such as rent, salaries, utilities, leased or rented equipment and other expenses which are normal and customary in the operation of your practice. The plan does not cover any remuneration payable to yourself or to your partners or to any person who replaces you to perform your duties for the purpose of generating income for your practice. The cost of any new purchases of equipment or supplies will be excluded as well. In the event of joint occupancy or partnership, only your share of the office overhead expenses will be used in determining the amount of benefit payable. Benefits will be payable for up to 12 months.

Definition of disability

Total disability

You will be considered Totally Disabled if, as a result of injury or sickness, you are severely limited in the performance of the normal activities pertaining to your occupation.

Partial disability

If you have recovered sufficiently to return to your practice on a part-time basis, benefits will be payable for up to 6 months, rather than 12 months, at 50% of the benefits paid in the last month of Total Disability.

Limitations and exclusions

The insured member must be under the care of a qualified physician to receive any disability benefits. We do not cover disabilities resulting from:

a self-inflicted injury
involvement in a criminal offense
insurrection
war
pregnancy, including childbirth

Please refer to your contract for a complete list of risks not covered by this plan.

Coverage is limited to a maximum of 6 months for foreign travel or residence outside of Canada or the U.S., unless an extension is approved in writing by the Company.

Must be a resident of Canada
Must be between age 18 and 60 inclusive to apply
Must be an active association member
Available to partners and sole practitioners who meet the eligibility requirements
