As a registered dietitian (RD) or nutritionist, you help patients manage and prevent nutrition-related diseases or deficiencies. Running a private practice, however, exposes you to huge risks. Insurance protects your business against escalating legal costs from injuries and common accidents. Some policies, such as workers' comp, are required by law.
Insureon helps dietitians and nutritionists find insurance that matches your unique risks.

These insurance policies cover the most common risks faced by dietitians.
A general liability policy covers basic third-party risks, such as a patient who trips and suffers an injury in a nutrition counseling office. It's often required for commercial leases.
A BOP bundles commercial property insurance and general liability coverage under one plan. It's often the most cost-effective commercial insurance policy for a nutritionist.
Most states require workers' comp for dietitian practices that have employees. It also protects sole proprietors from work injury costs that health insurance might deny.
A professional liability policy covers legal defense costs related to errors and oversights, such as dietary advice that worsens a medical condition. It’s sometimes called malpractice insurance.
Most states require commercial auto insurance for vehicles owned by a dietetics practice. It helps cover the cost of an accident involving your business vehicle.
This policy helps nutritionists survive data breaches and cyberattacks by paying for a response and recovery. It can be added to a BOP or general liability policy for savings.
A small wellness center will pay less for insurance than a larger business.
