National context — Home Health Care insurance overview

A home care agency's biggest catastrophic exposure is one a generic business policy quietly excludes: abuse and molestation. Standard general liability carries an absolute abuse/molestation exclusion — if an allegation against a caregiver lands, the GL carrier denies the claim and refuses to defend. Dedicated abuse & molestation (SAM) coverage is the only thing that responds. Our own quote data shows these agencies most request general and professional liability (medical malpractice for care delivered in the home).

As an industry-typical estimate, a home-care agency runs roughly $2,000–$8,000+/year across general liability, professional/malpractice liability, abuse & molestation, hired & non-owned auto (aides drive their own cars to clients), and payroll-rated workers' compensation — the top physical exposure is caregiver injury lifting patients. No insurance bureau publishes home-care premiums, so every dollar here is an estimate; each coverage fact is sourced to a named authority (III, and a carrier coverage explainer).

Coverage lines a home health care agency typically carries (industry-typical estimates):

• Abuse & molestation (SAM): the trade-defining line — standard general liability excludes abuse/molestation and will not defend it, so SAM is the only coverage that responds to a caregiver allegation. Selective abuse & molestation coverage.
• Professional liability / medical malpractice: errors, omissions, or failure to meet the standard of care in the home — often required by state law or client contracts. III professional liability.
• General liability: third-party bodily injury and property damage in a client's home. III commercial general liability.
• Hired & non-owned auto: aides driving their own cars to clients create vicarious liability for the agency — added by endorsement. III commercial auto.
• Workers' compensation: caregiver injury from lifting/transferring patients is the top physical exposure — mandatory in nearly every state. III workers comp.

Caregiver headcount, services offered (skilled nursing vs. companionship), and driving exposure are primary rating factors.
