The cost of home care is dependent on the type
of insurance you have. With certain commercial insurances, they require
payment of a deductible or coinsurance. If you are uncertain, contact us
and we can help verify coverage with your insurer.
Those patients covered by MEDICARE there is no cost. Medicare does not
have a deductible or coinsurance charged to the beneficiary for the home
health benefit. Our billing goes directly to Medicare and their payment
is in full for our services. We are precluded by law from billing any
additional to the beneficiary, unless the service is not one covered by
Medicare.
To be eligible for coverage under
Medicare a patient must meet the following criteria:
|
|
● |
The patient must be essentially
homebound-meaning trips away from home must be infrequent or of
short duration. Because it has been proven that your spiritual well
being is important in your overall health status, Medicare recently
approved leaving home for religious services. It was also approved
to leave home for medical treatment (office visits, etc.)
|
|
● |
Care must be intermittent (part time),
medically necessary, and ordered/approved by your physician;
|
|
● |
The
Patient's condition must require a skilled need.
