Why do dietitians need insurance?

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.

What types of insurance do dietitians and nutritionists need?

These insurance policies cover the most common risks faced by dietitians.

General liability insurance

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.

BEST FOR

Bodily injuries
Damaged patient property
Libel and other advertising injuries

Business owner’s policy

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.

BEST FOR

Personal injury lawsuits
Business property damage and theft
Business interruption insurance

Workers’ compensation insurance

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.

BEST FOR

Employee medical expenses
Disability benefits
Lawsuits over employee injuries

Professional liability / medical malpractice

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.

BEST FOR

Claims that advice caused harm
Failure to refer to a primary care physician
Mistakes or oversights

Commercial auto 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.

BEST FOR

Damage caused by your vehicle
Medical bills from an auto accident
Vehicle theft and vandalism

Cyber liability insurance

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.

BEST FOR

Customer notification expenses
Data breach lawsuits
Fraud monitoring costs
