Why Choose a Home Nursing Agency?



United Nursing Services is a licensed and certified home care & home nursing agency, rather than a nurse registry. There are a number of important differrences between a home nursing agency and a nurse registry:






United Nursing Services
Licensed and Certified Home
Health Agency
Nurse Registry
Responsible for
Employee taxes
United Nursing Services takes full responsibility for:
− Social Security and payroll taxes
− Other employment benefits
The patient or employee is
responsible for paying all employee
taxes and benefits.

Medicare
Certification

United Nursing Services meets stringent federal
Medicare certification requirements
(which typically exceed state requirements)
A Nurse Registry can not and does
not meet Federal guidelines.

Nurse Registries cannot become
Medicare certified.
Insurance Liability
and financial
responsibility
United Nursing Services maintains…
− Professional liability and
  malpractice insurance
− Worker’s compensation coverage
− Comprehensive general liability,
  personal injury, automobile
  liability and employer’s liability
  insurance policies
Nurse Registries do not carry
Worker's Compensation coverage,
nor do they carry a blanket of
malpractice liability or bonding
insurances.

The caregiver/employee is
responsible for maintaining
liability insurance.
Range of
home nursing services
United Nursing Services directly provides…
− Home care
− Facility care
− Nutritional guidance
− Medical social services
− A full range of therapies
− Arrangements for home medical
  equipment
Nurse registries provide no
services directly. A Registry is
a temporary employment service
for independent contractors.
