Home Health Aide and Agency insurance in Minnesota

Home Health Aides provide top-quality healthcare to their patients. You are aware of the importance of people being able to live in their own homes, whether you are working alone or with a team. It is crucial to provide support for other people, but who provides that support for you?

BizInsure makes it easy and simple for Home Health Aides and Agencies in Minnesota to find insurance to safeguard their small-scale business. No matter where you live – from  Minneapolis to Rochester – insurance for Home Health Agencies is within reach.

Why should you consider being a health care professional in Minnesota?

In Minnesota, Home Health Aides are highly sought-after. If you’re looking to pursue a career in health care, this is an excellent way to get into the field and make an impact on the health of patients throughout the The North Star State.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics 2021 data, Minnesota is home to approximately 108,000 personal caregivers and home care aides. Over the next few decades, this number will increase. The country’s home health aids will increase by 25% between 2021-2031.

Minnesota’s average income for home health aides and personal caregivers is $30,320. These workers make an average hourly wage of $14.58. Minnesota home health aides might earn more in larger cities than they do in rural areas or smaller metropolitan areas. Minnesota-St. Paul and Bloomington have a salary of $30,600 and Rochester has a $30,830.

What are the reasons why home health care providers in Minnesota require insurance?

Home Health Aides work closely with people who are elderly, have disabilities, as well as those who are chronically ill. Your services aid these patients to live in safety within their homes. But unfortunately, this can result in expensive lawsuits or claims being made against you if something goes wrong.

Accidents do happen and if you are liable for one, you may be liable to compensate your patient or their family.

The cost of litigation and claims in the US is incredibly high. You could be left with no money and ruin your career.

Home care insurance helps Home Heath Aides and providers protect their finances when these claims arise so they can go on supporting the Minnesota community.

  • Errors, mistakes or omissions in your professional services or advice

  • Third-party bodily injury
  • Damage to a third party’s property

I have been shopping for business liability insurance for several months. I am happy to share that BizInsure ranked #1! The representatives were polite, patient, and empathetic. They accomplished what most companies struggle with achieving: they did what they said they were going to do, they were on time, and they had empathy. They delivered a policy for 25% less than the closest competetor, and even included $50k of cyber security at no additional cost! I only write reviews when I receive exceptional experiences- highly revommended; keep up the great service BizInsure!P.S. I own a professional referral service in Hawai'i and I am going to see if BizInsure offers an affiliate program.Aloha!

I had numerous conversations with several business insurance agents over a month's time. I also had several conversations confirming the policy inclusion/exclusions and asked many questions. My BizInsure agent was professional, knowledgeable and most important—detail oriented. Even after having an initial conversation a month earlier he knew and *remembered* all my personal/professional insurance needs. When I asked for additional information on the third call he was able to provide me with details very quickly. He was also VERY patient. That is a big plus in my opinion. It illustrated a high level of respect for my needs. I also found when I called back and asked to talk with the initial agent, the person who answered the call was able to get in contact quickly and my agent responded and returned the call within 5-10 minutes. The transaction was smooth, and I think it's a good sign should I ever need to make a claim. I highly recommend BizInsure.

The customer service provided by Jose was outstanding. He explained everything in a very clear/logical way and answered all of my questions. After providing all the information to obtain general liability insurance, Jose sent me the declaration page of the insurance for review. All of the information matched what I provided over the phone and there were no typos. The next day I called back to purchase the insurance which was easy and fast. Overall, my experience with BizInsure including the customer service by Jose exceeded my expectations.
