Why do dietitians need insurance?
As a registered dietitian (RD), you help patients manage and prevent nutrition-related diseases and 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.

What types of business insurance do dietitians need?
These insurance policies cover the most common risks faced by dietitians.

- Lawsuits over employee injuries
Professional liability / medical malpractice
Professional liability insurance covers legal defense costs related to errors and oversights, such as dietary advice that worsens a medical condition. It’s sometimes called malpractice insurance.
BEST FOR
- Claims that advice caused harm
- Failure to refer to a primary care physician
- Mistakes or oversights
Commercial auto insurance
Commercial auto insurance covers the cost of an accident involving a dietitian’s business vehicle. Each state has its own requirements for auto liability insurance coverage.
BEST FOR
- Damage caused by your vehicle
- Medical bills from an auto accident
- Vehicle theft and vandalism
Cyber insurance
This policy helps dietitians 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.
