What Georgia requires of medical spas

Georgia requires workers’ compensation for businesses with three or more employees, including part-time workers.

Medical spas in Georgia are regulated by the Georgia State Board of Cosmetology and Barbers. Underwriters ask about licenses and training, so make sure every service you offer is within the license of the person performing it.

Metro Atlanta’s large salon-suite market means many beauty professionals are independent tenants who carry their own policies. No state law mandates general liability, but nearly every commercial lease does.

• Medical professional liability — written for procedures, providers and the medical director arrangement.
• General liability — premises injuries and property damage.
• Property or a business owners policy — high-value lasers and devices, with equipment breakdown.
• Workers’ compensation — nurses, aestheticians and front-desk staff.
• Cyber liability — patient data and photos.

Claims medical spas actually face

These are the situations that turn into claims for medical spas — and the reason professional liability matters as much as general liability:

• A laser burn or scarring claim
• A complication after an injectable treatment
• A claim that a procedure was performed outside a provider’s scope
• A data breach involving patient records and photos
