At the Table with CAHSAH – Episode #15

The hidden risks in home-based care are not where most leaders are looking.

From cyberattacks and wage-and-hour claims to auto exposure and the fine print in EPLI, Steve Parkhurst of Heffernan Insurance breaks down the coverage gaps that can catch home health, hospice, and home care agencies off guard—and what smart operators can do before an incident forces the conversation.

Mark Wilson and Steve Parkhurst dig into what it really takes to run a safer, stronger organization when employees are working independently in patients’ homes rather than under a single roof.

The conversation goes beyond simply asking, “Do we have insurance?” and focuses on the more important questions: What risks are you actually managing, and which ones are still sitting in your blind spot?

You’ll discover:
Why limited supervision in home-based care creates risks that office-based organizations may not face

The top claims affecting providers right now, including cyber, wage and hour, EPLI, and auto

How documentation, login/logout records, and written processes can make or break a wage-and-hour defense

Why timing matters after an incident—and how waiting even 2–3 days can quickly drive up claims costs

How insurers evaluate expansion, acquisitions, geography, and rising auto costs in a changing market

Steve also shares practical guidance on when to involve your broker, how often to review your coverage, and why risk management should be treated as an ongoing business strategy—not a once-a-year renewal chore.

If you lead a home health, hospice, or home care agency, this episode will help you think less like a buyer of insurance and more like a builder of resilience.

Essential listening for agency CEOs, operators, and administrators who want to protect their teams, their patients, and the long-term health of their organizations.

Change in healthcare isn't a possibility. It's a certainty.

The question isn't whether new regulations, policies, or industry shifts will occur.

The question is: Will your organization be prepared?
High-performing organizations share a common trait. They spend less time reacting and more time preparing.

Preparation starts with awareness. Awareness creates understanding. Understanding creates options. And options create strategic flexibility.

Proactive organizations don't just respond to change. They position themselves to lead through it.
