Protect the continuity of home health care agencies operations.
A continuity plan should look beyond physical repairs. For home health care agencies, recovery can depend on home health care agencies operations, people, property, contracts, technology, vehicles, vendors, revenue, and the risks specific to the business, as well as timely access to people, data, equipment, suppliers, utilities, and customers.
Recovery dependencies to map
- Critical people, locations, equipment, utilities, systems, suppliers, and vendors
- Realistic repair, replacement, relocation, and revenue-recovery timelines
- Customer, employee, vendor, and stakeholder communications for the home health care agencies operation
Values and timelines to test
- Property, equipment, inventory, and income values for the home health care agencies operation
- Payroll, revenue, locations, vehicles, and other current exposure schedules
- Information supporting professional liability and general liability appropriate to the home health services performed
- Information supporting business owner's policy or property, cyber, crime or fidelity, and business income where eligible
- Information supporting workers' compensation, commercial auto or hnoa, epli, umbrella or excess, and other coverage where appropriate
Questions to resolve
- Operations or risks not fully disclosed for the home health care agencies account
- Outdated values, classifications, limits, deductibles, or recovery assumptions
- Contractual requirements or critical dependencies not addressed by the insurance review
Frequently asked questions
Why can the recovery period exceed the repair period?
Permitting, equipment lead time, installation, testing, supplier delays, staffing, customer communication, and the return to normal revenue can continue after physical repairs are complete.
What should home health care agencies review after a major change?
Locations, operations, values, payroll, vehicles, contracts, vendors, revenue, and controls should be revisited when the business changes materially rather than waiting automatically for renewal.
