What Is Broadspire Workers' Compensation?

Workers' compensation insurance provides medical and wage-replacement benefits to employees who are injured on the job. Broadspire is not an insurance carrier itself — it is a third-party administrator (TPA) that manages workers' comp claims on behalf of self-insured employers and large commercial carriers. When your employer's workers' comp program is managed by Broadspire, Broadspire handles the authorization, case management, and payment of covered medical services, including home health care when it is medically necessary for your recovery.

Understanding workers comp and how TPAs like Broadspire operate can feel overwhelming when you are focused on healing. The short version: Broadspire coordinates the care and approves what is covered; your treating physician prescribes home health services; and a Joint Commission Accredited home health agency like BrightStar Care of Burleson carries out the care. Our team handles the authorization process and communicates directly with Broadspire so your family can focus on recovery.

Services Covered Through Broadspire Workers' Comp Home Health Benefits

When Broadspire authorizes home health care as part of a workers' compensation claim, covered services typically include skilled nursing care and direct support for the claimant's work-related injury or condition. The specific services authorized depend on the nature of the injury, the treating physician's orders, and Broadspire's case management review. Services BrightStar Care of Burleson commonly provides for Broadspire claimants include:

• Skilled nursing visits — Registered Nurses and Licensed Vocational Nurses provide assessments, wound care, medication management, and post-surgical care at home
• Wound care and wound VAC management — for traumatic injuries, surgical sites, and crush injuries requiring clinical wound care
• IV therapy and specialty infusions — when medically ordered as part of injury recovery or post-operative treatment
• Medication administration and management — ensuring proper administration of prescribed medications related to the work injury
• In-home lab draws and blood work — eliminating the need to travel to a clinic for necessary monitoring during recovery
• Personal care and activities of daily living — bathing, dressing, and mobility assistance when injury limits independent function
• Physical, occupational, and speech therapy coordination — working alongside the claimant's therapy team to support home-based recovery goals

Our care is led by a Registered Nurse Director of Nursing who oversees all care plans and supervises every caregiver assigned to a Broadspire workers' comp case. This clinical oversight model is part of why Broadspire case managers and workers' comp insurers trust BrightStar Care to deliver safe, accountable care in the home.

How Broadspire Workers' Comp Home Health Authorization Works

The authorization process for home health care through a Broadspire-managed workers' comp claim typically follows these steps:

1. Treating physician orders home health care. Your doctor — often a physician at Huguley Medical Center, AdventHealth Burleson, or Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Southwest — documents medical necessity and writes orders for home health services related to your work injury.
2. Broadspire reviews and authorizes. The physician's orders and supporting clinical documentation are submitted to Broadspire for authorization. Broadspire's case managers review the request and issue an authorization for approved services.
3. BrightStar Care of Burleson receives the referral. Once authorization is in place, we receive the referral, contact the claimant or family, and schedule an in-home clinical assessment by our Director of Nursing.
4. Care begins. An RN-developed care plan is created, staffing is coordinated, and care typically begins within 24 to 48 hours of referral.
5. Ongoing communication with Broadspire. We submit required documentation and progress notes to Broadspire throughout the episode of care, ensuring the claim stays in good standing and continuations of care are authorized when needed.

Who Handles Workers' Comp in Texas?

Workers' compensation in Texas is overseen by the Texas Department of Insurance, Division of Workers' Compensation (TDI-DWC). Texas is unique in that workers' comp coverage is not mandatory for most private employers — non-subscribing employers are not required to carry workers' comp insurance under Texas law. However, most large employers and contractors do carry workers' comp insurance, and when they self-insure or use a TPA like Broadspire, the TDI-DWC still governs the legal framework governing the claim. If you have questions about your rights under a Texas workers' comp claim, you can contact the TDI-DWC at 1-800-252-7031.
