CNPS introduces a new process for collecting professional liability protection (PLP)


As of December 9th, 2024, NANB members will need to register for professional liability protection and core services from the CNPS directly via MyCNPS. Previously, all practicing NANB members paid for access to CNPS services as a subset of their NANB registration fees. Now, NANB will no longer collect the fee for CNPS professional liability protection. Your annual fees have not changed, simply how you pay them has changed.


You can learn more by watching this CNPS video on how to register for professional liability protection or by consulting the CNPS FAQs .
