Insurance Coverage, Medicare, and Workers Compensation
Different insurances provide varying coverage for home health services. We have general guidelines about the most common types of insurance and the coverage they generally provide. If you prefer, we would be happy to contact your insurance company to find out what your specific plan covers for home-care services. Medicare pays for professional home care services for senior citizens if they meet fairly strict criteria. Medicare covers nursing and physical, occupational and speech therapy services. It will also cover home health aide services if nursing or therapy service is present. Medicare does not cover companions or homemakers.
