Urgent Care Clinic Insurance

Urgent care clinic insurance helps protect your clinic from a variety of potential lawsuits ranging from employee injuries, to property damages, to malpractice.

Regardless of how safe and well managed your clinic is, these claims can arise at any time. And being prepared for them allows you to continue providing services without the added stress of potential financial hardship.

General Liability for Urgent Care Clinics

General liability insurance for urgent care clinics covers the accidents you never see coming. A patient slips on a freshly mopped floor. A delivery driver trips over a misplaced box in your lobby. Or a child bumps into a chair and needs stitches. Even if you weren’t directly at fault, your clinic could still face a lawsuit.

Claim Example: What’s Covered?

  • A patient falls in your lobby and requires medical treatment.
  • A child’s parent sues after their kid trips on uneven flooring.
  • A vendor claims property damage after you accidentally break equipment during installation.
  • Advertising injury claim if a competitor alleges your marketing harmed their reputation.

General liability steps in to cover legal defense, settlements, and medical costs — giving your clinic the financial backing it needs.

BOP Coverage for Urgent Care Clinics

A business owners policy (BOP) bundles the insurance essentials most urgent care clinics need. It combines general liability with property insurance, protecting both your clinic’s finances and the physical space you operate in.
Think about your medical equipment: X-ray machines, exam tables, diagnostic devices. A fire, theft, or burst pipe could wipe out thousands of dollars of gear overnight. A BOP helps cover those losses while also shielding you from liability claims.

Claim Example: What’s Covered?

  • Fire damages your diagnostic machines and front desk computers.
  • Theft of laptops, tablets, or patient intake systems.
  • Burst pipe causes water damage to exam rooms and stored medical supplies.
  • Vandalism results in broken windows and damaged signage.

With a BOP, you’re not just protecting your building — you’re securing the continuity of your clinic.

Workers’ Compensation for Urgent Care Clinics

Your employees are the backbone of your urgent care center — nurses, physician assistants, technicians, and front-desk staff all keep the clinic moving. Workers’ compensation coverage pays for medical expenses and lost wages if they get hurt on the job.

It’s legally required in most states, and for good reason. Healthcare staff face unique risks: needle sticks, lifting injuries, slips on wet floors, and exposure to illness. Without workers’ comp, a single injury claim could drain your clinic’s finances.

Claim Example: What’s Covered?

  • A nurse injures their back while lifting a patient onto an exam table.
  • A staff member contracts a bloodborne illness after a needlestick accident.
  • A receptionist slips on spilled sanitizer in the lobby and fractures their wrist.
  • An X-ray tech suffers radiation exposure complications and needs medical care.

This coverage protects both your employees and your business.

What Else Do Urgent Care Clinics Need?

Beyond general liability, BOP, and workers’ comp, urgent care centers face specialized risks that require extra protection. Consider adding one or more of these:

  • Professional Liability (Malpractice Insurance): Whether you make a mistake or someone claims that you did, or someone is unhappy with the treatment or diagnosis you gave, this covers you.
  • Cyber Liability: With patient records being kept on computers and in the cloud with internet hosting, that sensitive data is at risk of being lost due to data breaches, being held hostage in a ransomware attack, or simply stolen electronically.
  • Employment Practices Liability (EPLI): If current, previous, or potential employees claim that there are problems in your hiring and firing process--such as discrimination, wrongful termination, or harassment--this pays for your legal defense, settlements, and related costs.
  • Excess Liability: If your general liability policy is exhausted from a large claim, this provides extended coverage amounts.
  • Business Interruption Coverage: Sometimes things happen that force businesses to close temporarily. Most notably, this happens when major weather events disrupt local infrastructure. This coverage helps by replacing income you lose during those temporary interuptions.
