Home Care Industry Workers’ Compensation Rates Expected to Rise

6/23/2021

The three largest expenses for the home care industry are payroll, employee benefits and workers’ compensation. While agencies can control and plan for payroll expenses, workers’ compensation costs can fluctuate without much warning. And how has COVID impacted the insurance marketplace? HCAOA Associate Member Gavin Studner, Sales Executive, Odell Studner Insurance Brokers & Consultants, recently released a white paper addressing these issues and the current state of the insurance marketplace specifically for home care. ​

The report notes that home care industry workers’ compensation rates are expected to rise soon. “While insurance rates for non-workers’ compensation lines have dramatically increased for the last two years, rates for the home care industry have been on a steep decline over the past decade,” the report states. A “hard market cycle” occurs when fewer insurance carriers are competing for business, which leads to increased rates and premiums. “For some states, such as Wisconsin and Massachusetts, rates are at their lowest point since first recording rates in 2001. We anticipate the home care workers’ compensation marketplace to rapidly harden in the coming years” Studner continued.

The anticipated rise in workers' compensation rates for the home care industry poses a significant challenge for agencies. With payroll and employee benefits already major expenses, the unpredictability of workers' compensation costs adds further strain. The report highlights the current decline in rates, but warns of an impending shift towards a hard market cycle. Home care agencies should stay informed about these changes and take proactive measures to mitigate risks. Attending sessions like Gavin Studner's breakout session can provide valuable insights into navigating the workers' compensation insurance marketplace.
