FAQ

WHAT INSURANCE DO WE TAKE?

Home Care: Most home care services are paid for privately by the client or client’s family; however the majority of home care services are also covered by long term care insurance plans.

Home Health: Medicare, Tri-East, and Scott & White Health plan cover 100% of skilled home health services. Partial coverage often provided by other insurance providers.

Hospice: Medicare and Medicaid cover hospice care 100%, with most other insurance providers providing a substantial hospice benefit.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HOME CARE, HOME HEALTH AND HOSPICE?

Home Care is provided by certified nurses aides or companions, to provide help with activities of daily living in your home, or home-like environment, such as an assisted living. We provide help with dressing, showering, dementia care, cooking, light housekeeping, medication reminders, driving, fall-risk prevention, and companionship, along with many other actives that keep a client happy, calm, and safe, and as independent as possible as they age. These services are usually paid for by the individual, or a long-term care insurance plan.

Home Health is a medical service, ordered by a physician, to provide skilled nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, and sometimes dietitians or social workers, to help someone manage or improve their health after a medical event has happened. This is sometimes ordered after a fall, a surgery, a hospitalization, a new medical diagnosis, or a decline in someone’s condition. Medical insurance usually pays for this, in order to keep someone safe in their home, and to prevent them from going to the hospital after a medical event has occurred.

Hospice is provided where a patient lives, in order to improve their quality of life by addressing their medical complaints and symptoms, and to prepare for end-of-life concerns. This happens when a physician determines that a patient is not benefiting from medical therapies to treat a disease anymore, and in most cases has less than six months to live. A patient can request hospice services at any time, and our nurse and physician can decide if they are appropriate for hospice services.

ARE OUR EMPLOYEES TRAINED AND SCREENED?

Yes, each employee has had a background check, and we have checked an employee misconduct registry. Every employee goes through an extensive orientation process, reference checks, and training for the particular job they are doing. Competencies are also performed on our employees.

WHAT IS HIPAA?

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) is a federal law that sets rules about who can look at and receive your health information. This law gives you rights over your health information and when it can be shared. It also requires your doctors, pharmacists and other health care providers, and your health plan to explain your rights and how your health information can be used or shared.

HIPAA requires an Authorization to Release Medical Information in order for health care providers to release medical information or records. New requirements for authorizations became effective April 16, 2003. This requirement also extends to organizations related to health care providers, such as insurance companies and other organizations closely associated with health care providers, and their contractors.
