Why do Pennsylvania home health care providers need insurance?

Home health care professionals often assist seniors, people with disabilities, and patients recovering from illness or surgery. Providing care in private homes can increase exposure to liability risks.

Common situations that may lead to a claim include:

  • A client slips or falls during a home visit
  • Accidental damage to a client’s property
  • Allegations of professional negligence
  • Misunderstandings about the care or services provided
  • Legal costs associated with defending a liability claim

Home health care insurance helps protect income, business assets, and personal finances in the event of a claim. Many clients, referral agencies, and care facilities require proof of insurance before services begin, and for agencies, coverage may also be required as part of service agreements or provider contracts.
