Hello, I'm CAP fellow being offered a telepsych position as a moonlighter with a good hourly rate ($175), but I would be responsible for my own liability insurance. I'm currently doing quite a bit of moonlighting internally so my liability is covered but the rate I'm getting is close to $100/hr. I'm just now learning about the ins and outs of liability insurance and it seems that it may be a waste to use up the discounts that companies like APA and PRMS offer for trainees, first-time buyers, etc. given that I would only be moonlighting at this job for maybe 10 hours per week.
Should I negotiate for the employer to cover my liability insurance even if it means a lower hourly rate? Or does it not matter much whether I use up those "first time buyer" discounts now or later? Thanks for any guidance.
