Risk Advisory

Key Exposures We Address

Hospice & Palliative Care operations carry distinct risks that require specialized coverage strategies. Our team identifies and mitigates the exposures most likely to impact your business.

01
Pain Management Claims
Allegations of inadequate pain management or inappropriate medication administration are among the most common hospice malpractice claims.
02
Premature Hospice Enrollment
Claims that a patient was enrolled in hospice prematurely — before meeting Medicare eligibility criteria — can result in significant liability.
03
Medication Errors
Errors in controlled substance administration and pain medication management create significant professional liability exposure.
04
Family Grief & Litigation
Family members grieving the loss of a loved one may attribute the death to care failures, resulting in malpractice claims even when care was appropriate.
05
Worker Injury in Patient Homes
Hospice workers providing in-home care face elevated injury risk from patient handling, unsafe home environments, and travel.
06
Regulatory Compliance
Medicare certification requirements impose strict standards on hospice agencies, with significant penalties for survey deficiencies.
