HOW DO I PAY FOR HOME HEALTH SERVICES?

There are a few ways to pay for home health care:

  • **Medicare: Medicare covers home health care for people who meet certain criteria. These criteria include being homebound and having a doctor’s order for home health care. Medicare will cover a portion of the cost of home health care, but you may have to pay a copay or coinsurance.

 

  • **Medicaid/Medical: Medicaid is a government health insurance program for low-income people. Medicaid covers home health care for people who meet certain criteria. These criteria vary from state to state.
    **Private insurance: Some private insurance plans cover home health care. The amount of coverage that you receive will depend on your plan.
  • **Out-of-pocket: If you do not have insurance that covers home health care, you may have to pay for it out-of-pocket. The cost of home health care can vary depending on the services that you receive.
