Prior to looking for home care assistance CT residents and families need to understand their options when reviewing providers and budgeting to make home care services work for their needs. There are basically two types of home care assistance CT families will often use – Medicare certified and private duty home care CT services.
Home health care and assistance can be quite expensive for patients, and many insurance companies cover only a small fraction of this type of care, if any at all. In the United States, Medicare and Medicaid have a set schedule of covered services for home caregiver services. Some of these Medicare covered services include nursing care in the home as well as physical and occupational therapies. The services not covered by Medicare usually fall under the category of private duty home care CT agencies provide because they are necessary as part of a patient’s overall plan of care.
Those looking for private duty home care CT services should understand that Medicare was not created to provide in home care over the long term. In order for patient services to be covered, there are various criteria that must be met for qualification. For the most part, the patient’s doctor will determine whether home care assistance CT services are needed and then prescribe a plan for home care. Any home care treatment must be medically necessary and must be provided by a home care assistance CT agency approved and certified by Medicare.
In some instances, additional private duty home care CT services can be covered by Medicaid, if the applicant is eligible. Patients that have long term care insurance may have policy benefits that also offer coverage for home health care so policies should be checked to determine what is covered if anything. Some nonprofit organizations also provide home care assistance CT residents may need so it is always important to check with different medical associations and member organizations you belong to in order to find out if any financial assistance programs are available.
