Insurance and indemnity: getting clinic and provider cover right

Cover is the safety net under everything a clinic does. What owners and providers need, and the gaps to avoid.

May 21, 2026

Insurance and indemnity are easy to treat as a box to tick once a year, until something goes wrong and the detail suddenly matters. Getting cover right, for both the clinic and every provider who treats in it, is a foundational part of running safely.

Cover the clinic and every provider

The clinic needs its own cover, and every provider who treats patients needs valid indemnity for the treatments they perform. A gap on either side, or a provider whose indemnity has lapsed, is exposure the clinic cannot afford.

Match cover to what you actually do

Cover should reflect your real treatment list and risk profile, not a generic policy bought years ago. As you add treatments or providers, the cover has to keep pace, which is exactly when gaps creep in.

Track renewals before they lapse

The most common failure is not the wrong policy but an expired one. Tracking every provider's indemnity and the clinic's renewals, and flagging them before they lapse, prevents a treatment being delivered uncovered.

Common questions

Whose responsibility is provider indemnity?

The provider holds it, but the clinic carries the risk if it lapses, so verifying it before anyone treats, and tracking renewals, is firmly in the clinic's interest.
