Dentists Professional Liability Trust of Colorado

Following are links to an application for Dentists Professional Liability Trust of Colorado and related documents, which include a Supplemental Application, an Application for Retroactive Coverage, a Participation Agreement, and a Trust Agreement.

This policy provides two million dollars of dental professional liability, with a four million dollar aggregate limits. This coverage is only offered to the dentist who is (or becomes) a member of the Colorado Dental Association. This policy does NOT insure your office equipment, premises liability etc. These policies need to be purchased separately. Please contact our office for more information about these policies.

Retroactive coverage is available for dentists who have had claims-made polices in the past, with the dental practice being in the state of Colorado. Complete this page also to decline retroactive coverage.

The premium for this policy is determined by whether or not you do the surgical phase of implants or need retroactive coverage. Please call me for the premium applicable to your situation. The Trust offers three different premium payment options: you can pay the premium in full; pay the premium in three installments with a $50 administrative fee applied to the first payment; or you can have the premium deducted from your checking account on a monthly basis.

Thank you for your interest in Dentists Professional Liability Trust of Colorado. If you have any questions regarding the coverage provided, payment plans, or need assistance in completing the application, please do not hesitate to call.

Sincerely,
Nathan Reynolds, D.D.S.
