Answer 3

A bond is different from insurance, but depending on what you want the bond to do, sometimes you can get insurance to do the same thing.  But it might not fulfill a state requirement for a particular bond.

You'll have to discuss it with the agent that writes the rest of the insurance for the business.

Answer 4

A surety bond is a contract among at least three parties:

The principal - the primary party who will be performing a contractual obligation

The obligee - the party who is the recipient of the obligation, and

The surety - who ensures that the principal's obligations will be performed.

Through this agreement, the surety agrees to uphold - for the benefit of the obligee - the contractual promises (obligations) made by the principal if the principal fails to uphold its promises to the obligee. The contract is formed so as to induce the obligee to contract with the principal, i.e., to demonstrate the credibility of the principal and guarantee performance and completion per the terms of the agreement. Contract bonds guarantee a specific contract. Examples include performance, bid, supply, maintenance and subdivision bonds. Commercial bonds guarantee per the terms of the bond form. Examples include license & permit, union bonds, etc.

You must have these types of coverage to open your home health:

Property Coverage: Property insurance provides protection against most risks to property, such as fire, theft and some weather damage. This includes specialized forms of insurance such as fire insurance, flood insurance, earthquake insurance, home insurance or boiler insurance. Property is insured in two main ways - open perils and named perils. Open perils cover all the causes of loss not specifically excluded in the policy. Common exclusions on open peril policies include damage resulting from earthquakes, floods, nuclear incidents, acts of terrorism and war. Named perils require the actual cause of loss to be listed in the policy for insurance to be provided. The more common named perils include such damage-causing events as fire, lightning, explosion and theft.

General Liability:  A form of insurance designed to protect owners and operators of businesses from a wide variety of liability exposures. These exposures could include liability arising out of accidents resulting from the premises or the operations of an insured, products sold by the insured, operations completed by the insured, and contractual liability.

How much liability coverage do you need?

Generally, experts say, $2 million to $3 million of liability insurance should be plenty. The good news is that liability insurance isn't priced on a dollar-for-dollar basis, so twice the coverage won't be twice the price.  The price you'll have to pay for comprehensive general liability insurance depends on the size of your business (measured either by square footage or by payroll) and the specific risks involved.  

Professional Liability Coverage: Professional Liability Insurance (EO insurance) protects your company from claims if your client holds you responsible for errors, or the failure of your work to perform as promised in your contract.

Coverage includes legal defense costs - no matter how baseless the allegations. Professional Liability insurance will pay for any resulting judgments against you, including court costs, up to the coverage limits on your policy.

Professional Liability Insurance Insurance coverage extends to both W2 employees and 1099 subcontractors, and can be worldwide in scope.

I hope this information help you.
