Home Health Agencies Insurance FAQs
Why do home health agencies need Hired & Non-Owned Auto (HNOA)?
If a caregiver causes a serious wreck while driving to a patient's house or taking a senior to a doctor's appointment, the agency is routinely sued alongside the driver.
Does GL cover a patient who falls while being assisted by an aide?
Because assisting a patient is a 'care/professional service,' standard GL often excludes it—you need Healthcare Professional Liability.
Are abuse and molestation allegations covered automatically?
Not always—verify explicit Sexual Abuse & Misconduct coverage on your agency package.
Why is Workers' Comp critical for Texas home health agencies?
Lifting patients causes frequent back/shoulder claims (NCCI 8835), and Medicaid/managed-care contracts often require statutory WC.
