Frequently Asked Questions:

How can I pay for home health services?

We accept reimbursement from a large group of payers. These include Medicare, Medicaid programs, Veterans Benefits, other government programs, several Managed Care Organizations, and Long-Term Care Insurance. We also accept private pay.

Our goal is to provide you with peace of mind and simplify the process. We have reimbursement specialists who can handle the paperwork, ensure that you qualify, contact your payor to determine level of coverage and then bill appropriately and directly on your behalf.

What about Medicaid Waiver Programs?

There are many different Medicaid programs available. These include programs that support the needs of individuals meeting financial eligibility criteria, as well as those designed to serve the needs of patients with special needs. Our Admissions Team can work directly with your family and referral source to determine the various programs that might be available in your area.

I’m a Veteran. Do I qualify for benefits that might pay for home health?

The Veterans Aid and Attendance Pension Benefit, provided by the Veterans Administration, offers benefits for veterans and surviving spouses who require assistance with activities of daily living. Magnus can work with you to determine eligibility of these pension benefits.

Does my long-term care insurance cover home health?

Long-Term Care Insurance pays for the treatment of ailing individuals who need medical care over an extended period. It can help you cover the cost of in-home assistance, adult day care, assisted living services or nursing home care. LTC can also protect your family’s financial future, as well as your investments and savings. An LTC policy is a separate health insurance policy that requires monthly premiums, and policies and benefits can vary by payer. To ensure your insurance covers Home Health, please contact us so that we may verify coverage limitations.

What if I don’t have any benefits or insurance?

We work with clients and their families to provide home care services on a private pay, or self- pay, basis. Sometimes, private pay becomes necessary for services that are not covered by insurances, a third-party payer source, or Medicaid. Private pay services can be customized to meet your family’s needs.

Does Medicare cover home health?

Medicare covers medically necessary home health care on a limited basis. If you do qualify for skilled home health care under Medicare, then you may also qualify for a Home Health Aide to attend to personal care services.
