Accidents happen. Having clinical and home health workers' compensation insurance offers your staff members an extra layer of protection in the event of an injury, and it can protect your organization from reputation damage.
Healthcare workers' compensation insurance coverage acts as a safety net if something goes wrong. This can cover lost wages, medical expenses and even legal fees.
Does workers' comp cover home care?
Yes. Kickstand’s healthcare workers' comp insurance policy can cover all staff members who work within the healthcare industry. Reach out to us for more specifics on this type of policy and other questions regarding workers' comp in home healthcare.
Workers' comp insurance covers both the employer and the injured worker. Like all types of insurance, it acts as a safety net in case of an accident.
If a worker gets hurt on the job, the insurance company will help cover the costs associated with their care so the worker is well taken care of until they return to work.
Since the company had a workers' comp policy, they do not need to pay anything towards the bills.
The National Council of Compensation Insurance (NCCI) sets a fixed rate for every industry.
The rate is based on the level of risk for that job description.
Premiums are primarily calculated by using your payroll numbers and your NCCI class code.

Finding reasonable workers' compensation for home health aids or healthcare workers in a clinic or facility doesn’t have to be difficult. Don’t waste time browsing healthcare workers' compensation insurance companies for coverage - work with Kickstand Insurance instead.
Classify your workers correctly
For example - Employees who do clerical work have a different code (8810). Lumping them together with manual labors will increase your premium.
Don't underestimate your payroll
You will be expected to pay the difference at the end of the policy.
Have a clear process to report claims
...and make sure your employees know about it. This will make the entire experience easier for all involved.
Report every incident
- even if it didn't result in a large injury. Some things which seem insignificant can snowball into costly issues.
Prepare for your audit
Every policy is audited at the end of 12 months. Keep your payroll records and files neat so you don't have issues later!
Certificates are usually issued 24 hours after the policy is bound.
