Does Medicare or Medicaid cover your services?
Yes, in certain situations:
- Medicare covers skilled home health care for patients who are homebound and need acute or intermittent clinical care. Some Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans may also include coverage for non-medical home care.
- Medicaid can cover non-medical home care, either in full or with a small co-pay depending on the state. In some cases, Medicaid and Medicare may work together to provide coverage.
- Other options include long-term care insurance, certain life insurance policies, and Veterans’ benefits.
- Families may also choose to pay privately out-of-pocket for home care services.
