Bail nurse out - that can be covered (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

insurable

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'covered' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'bail nurse out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'bail'+'nurse'='bailnurse'
'bailnurse' anagrammed gives 'INSURABLE'.

'that can be' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for insurable that I've seen is " that could be covered".)
