Medicare & Insurance Coverage

We accept and bill many major insurance plans, including Medicare Advantage plans. Coverage varies significantly by plan, so we verify eligibility and explain exactly what to expect before care starts.

What you can expect from us:

We confirm whether your plan includes benefits for non-medical home care
We explain any out-of-pocket costs as clearly as possible
We help you choose a schedule that fits both your needs and your budget
We handle billing so you don’t have to navigate insurance paperwork alone

Important to know: Traditional Medicare (Parts A & B) does not typically cover non-medical home care. However, many Medicare Advantage plans do include coverage. We’ll check your specific plan during the consultation.

We accept the following payments

Ease and convenience is the key; we accept a variety of payment options. Your comfort in financial dealings is our priority.

Private Pay Options

Many families choose private pay for flexibility and faster start times. Private pay allows you to set your own schedule without plan restrictions, and care can often begin more quickly.

Our minimum schedule:

3-4 hours per visit
3-4 visits per week

We’ll walk through rates, minimums, and realistic weekly costs during your free in-home consultation. Our goal is to help you make an informed decision with full transparency.

Common Questions About Payment & Coverage

Does insurance always cover home care?

Not always. Coverage depends on your specific plan. Medicare Advantage, Medicaid, and some private insurance plans may cover non-medical home care. Traditional Medicare (Parts A & B) typically does not. We verify eligibility before services begin.

Do you handle billing?

Yes. If coverage applies, we work through the billing process and keep you informed every step of the way.

What if we're not sure what we need yet?

That’s exactly what the free in-home consultation is for. We’ll review your daily challenges, discuss options, and help you figure out what makes sense.

Can you start quickly, even if we're paying privately?

Yes. We typically start within 1-3 days, and private pay often allows for faster coordination since we’re not waiting on insurance authorizations.

Are there long-term contracts?

No. We don’t lock families into long-term contracts. You have the flexibility to adjust your schedule or discontinue services as your needs change.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept insurance billing (where applicable), credit cards, checks, and ACH payments. We’ll discuss payment options during your consultation.
