In the ever-evolving world of insurance, 2025 brings a mix of opportunities and challenges for small businesses and healthcare entities. At Peloton Insurance Brokers, LLC, we're here to help you stay ahead with specialized coverages tailored to your needs. Whether you're in home health, hospice, or running a professional service firm, understanding these trends can protect your operations and bottom line.

Key Trends in Home Health, Hospice, and Medical Insurance (CA, NV, TX) The home-based care sector is booming, driven by an aging population and a shift toward in-home services. In states like California, Nevada, and Texas, we've seen substantial market entry, with for-profit providers growing by at least 10% in recent years. Medicare and Medicaid now dominate, accounting for nearly 60% of revenue, making compliance crucial.

M&A activity is red-hot, with Q1 2025 showing strong hospice and home health deals. Claims are up modestly (3% from 2022-2023), but payments have surged (over 6-7% annually), signaling higher costs ahead. To mitigate risks, consider our tailored liability and workers' compensation programs on www.pelotonins.com. These can help control expenses amid policy shifts and consolidation.

Professional and Small Business Liability Trends For professional firms and small businesses, the management liability market is softening—great news for affordability. Premiums for Directors & Officers (D&O), Employment Practices Liability (EPL), and Errors & Omissions (E&O) are dropping 5-20%, thanks to increased competition and capacity.

EPL is particularly competitive, adapting to new risks like AI-driven hiring biases and remote work claims. Small businesses should prioritize this to cover lawsuits from employees or prospects. Meanwhile, workers' compensation faces rising healthcare costs (up 9% to $16,000+ per employee), but our specialized programs can optimize experience ratings and reduce premiums.

Don't overlook miscellaneous coverages like cyber liability or abuse/molestation liability—essential for professionals in consulting, contracting, or medical fields.
