Key Risks Facing Home Health Care Agencies

Medical professionals who treat and provide services in their patients’ homes can encounter several issues that would warrant the need for insurance coverage, including:

Property Exposure, generally limited to an office with papers, computers and some storage of items that may be needed by the home health staff.
Crime Exposure from employee dishonesty of money, inventory and patients’ property.
Inland Marine Exposure includes accounts receivable if the agency bills for services, computers, all equipment that is owned by the agency and is kept off site at the homes or cars of employees, and valuable papers and records for patient information, including doctors’ orders and employee documentation.
Premises Liability, specifically the off-premises exposure of having workers in patients’ homes, requires procedures and policies to be in place.
Professional Liability Exposure, which can be reduced by conducting thorough background checks to verify employees’ credentials, education and licensing.
Automobile Exposure may be limited to hired and non-ownership liability for employees running errands or using their own vehicles to make house calls.
Workers Compensation is primarily off site at patients’ homes. Gloves and masks should be worn at all times when working around any bodily fluids, as these can transmit diseases. Employees should have access to vaccinations to prevent diseases.
