Managing a loved one’s health care or that of your own can be confusing. Both the “health” part and the “care” part easily overwhelm many people. The need to navigate care often comes at a difficult time for families who are dealing with the stress of a diagnosis, the rigor of rehabilitation after a surgery, and/or the challenge of mental decline.

Call TodayJust as you would expect, home care coverage varies from policy to policy. Most insurance companies follow the guidelines set forth by Medicare. So let’s start with understanding Medicare’s guidelines as they relate to home care.
Remember–most insurance policies follow these Medicare guidelines. Generally speaking, Medicare covers very little personal care. Personal care includes services such as meal preparation, cleaning, companionship, or custodial care (i.e., bathing, toileting, dressing). These services may be covered if skilled care has been prescribed by a doctor and a patient has been deemed homebound. Coverage for personal care services usually would cease once the skilled care has ended.

Most long-term care insurance (LTCi) policies reimburse their policyholders a daily benefit amount for services that assist them with activities of daily living (ADLs). Examples of ADLs include bathing, dressing, meal preparation, medication reminders, housekeeping, shopping, toileting and other non-medical assistance.
As with any insurance, coverage varies from policy to policy. We regularly assist our clients with understanding their long term care policy, filing claims, and billing the LTCi carrier directly.
