Frequently Asked Questions

---

There are two basic types of home health, intermittent skilled care from nurses and therapists, and long term personal assistance services from providers.  House Calls Home Health offers both, but each service is paid by different insurance plans.  Call us so that we can determine which care you need and which you qualify for.

If you meet the qualifications, Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans cover the cost of intermittent skilled care, as do many commercial plans.  Long term personal assistance is usually covered by Medicaid or long term care insurance, but not by Medicare.  Call our office to see if we take your plan. If we don't we will help you find an agency that does.

Yes, it is your right  to participate in your care!  Doctors orders and insurance coverage will often dictate what is available to you but from that point, House Calls invites your input in developing your plan of care, and will do all we can to make sure you are knowledgeable about your options.
