When Should I Get a Professional Membership?
The answer to this question depends on a lot of variables—your state, your schooling, your test—but it comes down to what is best for you. Here are the questions to ask yourself. Please call us at 800-458-2267 if you have questions about any of these scenarios—our membership team are experts at helping!
Am I in a state that requires liability insurance before I get my license?
If you’ll be applying for a license in Alabama, Colorado, Georgia, Indiana, Massachusetts, Missouri, Oklahoma, Puerto Rico, South Dakota, or Wisconsin, you’ll want to upgrade first, as these states require proof of liability insurance to get your license—and your ABMP Professional membership provides that.
Am I ready to practice professionally according to the laws of my state?
If you have your license and are ready to start getting paid for bodywork, now is the perfect time to upgrade to a membership with professional liability insurance. If you’re still waiting for your license to arrive, you have a few options: 1) you can get ABMP Exam Coach Plus with ABMP Five-Minute Muscles now to start a payment plan for your professional membership; 2) you can wait to upgrade and continue to log in to your student account to use your graduate resources; or 3) you can upgrade to ABMP Professional or Certified membership for full access to ABMP member discounts (for example, if you want to save big on a massage table or other supplies). Keep in mind that if you upgrade before receiving your license, your liability insurance will not be active until we can add your licensing information to your membership account.
Am I in a state that has voluntary certification, or no state regulation?
If you’ll be working in California, Kansas, Minnesota, Vermont, or Wyoming, you can upgrade to an ABMP Practitioner membership, including liability insurance. Please call us at 800-458-2267 for specific information about upgrading in these states.
