What does home health aide insurance cover?

Home health aide insurance usually covers the financial impact of claims, not just the claim itself.  

Depending on the policy, coverage may include: 

  • Legal defense costs 
  • Settlements or damages 
  • Third-party injuries 
  • Property damage 
  • Some personal injury claims 
  • Employee injury benefits under Workers’ Compensation. 

Of course, the exact coverage depends on the insurer, policy wording, exclusions, limits, deductibles, and your business activities – so make sure you read the terms and conditions.
