> Professional liability Often called “malpractice insurance” or “errors and omissions coverage,” these policies protect professionals such as accountants, lawyers, doctors, dentists, pharmacists, insurance brokers and agents, and consultants, for negligence that injures their clients.
> Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) PPOs are comparable to indemnity plans, although they require subscribers to choose their health-care providers and health-care facilities from a preferred-provider list. Because the preferred providers have agreed to the plan's requirements, including discounted fees, subscribers have a financial incentive to stay within the network.
> Destroyed or damaged records If your business records are destroyed or damaged by a covered peril, this insurance will compensate you for the inability to collect income and for the cost of reproducing the records.

Mental Health Parity Act
The Mental Health Parity Act, MHPA, of 1996 requires plans that offer mental health benefits to set lifetime dollar limits equivalent to limits for medical/surgical benefits; however, it does not require all plans to offer mental health benefits. Limits for substance abuse or chemical dependency benefits are not included in the determination of parity.
Many States have their own mental health parity laws. Some State parity laws deal with substance abuse benefits as well as treatments for mental illness. To learn more about parity and mental health coverage in your own State, contact your State department of insurance.
If stress, or interpersonal or job-related tension, is interfering with your daily life or if a medical condition is causing you mental anguish, you may want to seek mental health care. If habitual use of legal or illegal substances is negatively affecting your health and/or your daily life, you should seek treatment for substance abuse. In either circumstance, you should seek care as soon as possible, before you feel that you can no longer cope with the situation. These problems are just as important, and treatable, as medical problems.
