A biohazard cleanup team does. Police, firefighters and medics do not. Blood can carry bloodborne pathogens, so a professional crew removes it with protective equipment and disinfects the area.

It may. Some homeowners, renters or commercial property policies cover cleanup, and some exclude certain events. Call your insurer before work starts, take photos if you can and keep every receipt.
