If you operate a nonmedical home health services agency in Ohio, obtaining a $20,000 surety bond is a mandatory step in the licensing process. This bond serves as a financial guarantee to the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) that your agency will comply with all applicable laws and regulations, ensuring the protection of your clients. The Ohio Nonmedical Home Health Services Surety Bond is a legal requirement for agencies providing nonmedical home care services, such as personal care, companionship, and homemaking.
Mandated by the Ohio Department of Health, this $20,000 bond ensures that agencies adhere to state regulations, offering a layer of financial protection for clients against potential misconduct or non-compliance. Any individual or business entity in Ohio that offers nonmedical home health services and is seeking licensure must secure this surety bond. This includes both agencies and non-agency providers who provide direct care to more than two individuals simultaneously and do not employ others to deliver these services.
