Quick answer
How much does clinic insurance cost in Ontario?
As a rough guide, the clinic's own package of general liability, property and business interruption often costs about $800 to $2,500 a year for a small massage clinic, $1,500 to $5,000 for physiotherapy, chiropractic and optometry clinics, $3,000 to $10,000 for dental offices and $3,000 to $12,000 for med spas. Practitioners' professional liability and cyber are usually extra. These are estimates only.
What you are paying for
Most clinics buy a package for the business: general liability, property for equipment and leasehold improvements, and business interruption. Many add entity professional liability, cyber and employment practices liability.
Practitioners' individual professional liability, required by their colleges, is usually bought separately by each practitioner or through an association program. The ranges below are for the clinic's own package and are estimates only.

Connect NowClinic Insurance Cost FAQs
Is practitioner malpractice insurance included in clinic insurance?
Usually not. Each practitioner's college required professional liability is typically bought separately. The clinic's package protects the business.
Why is dental office insurance more expensive?
Dental offices have high equipment and leasehold values and depend heavily on that equipment, so property, equipment breakdown and business interruption limits are larger.
Can I lower my clinic insurance cost?
Accurate valuations, good security, privacy controls, documented practitioner insurance checks and a clean claims history all help. A broker can also compare several insurers.

5/5 rating on GoogleThe Commercial Insurance Difference: Feedback from those referred
Proactive Broker Relationship.
The most noticeable difference was the fact that I no longer felt that I was needed to manage the broker... the brokers came to me with proactive recommendations and knew when to push and shop the market and when not to. When the topic of business insurance comes up, I always refer fellow business owners.

Security Blanket For My Business
I was always the type of customer that never believed in insurance and only really got it because I had to. Then I connected with a broker through Commercial Insurance.ca and they asked me questions no one else ever did and that's how I knew something was different. They took the time to understand and evaluate the risks. Well, I ended up getting some extra coverage (legal expense) and thank goodness I did. Something fairly innocent turned into something quite nasty and I didn't have to do too much... my coverage took care of it. Now I look at Insurance as a security blanket for my business.

They had my back
No one likes buying insurance because it's a bit of a bet against yourself. You just hope that when the bad things happen that insurance will do what it said it would do in the first place. Their specialist stand behind the policy's that they bind. They never professed to get me the best price, but they did say they have my back, and have my back, they did.
