Private Insurance Coverage for Your Home Health Services
In most cases, private insurance covers a portion of home health services for acute (short-term) needs. Patients are typically responsible for making partial payments via co-pays and/or deductibles. Most insurance plans require that your doctor determines a need for medical care in your home and develops a plan of care.
There are several different types of plans that cover home health care:
- Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs)
- Preferred Provider Organizations (PPOs)
- Indemnity plans
- Medicare Advantage (MA+) plans *
Eligibility criteria for many private insurance plans are similar to Medicare guidelines. To find out if Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) accepts your insurance plan, call our billing specialists at 816-627-6210 or contact us online. We will be happy to determine your plan's home health qualification guidelines and coverage for home health care by contacting your carrier. You may also find it helpful to contact your insurance provider's member services directly.
* MA+ plans must provide coverage for all the same services as Medicare, but restrictions may vary.
The in-home care I received was excellent. Both the nurse and therapist were very professional and attentive to my needs. I credit both of them with my quick recovery from knee replacement."
My experience with home health was wonderful. I live alone and was so glad to have VNA taking care of me. My spirits were lifted and healing progressed quickly. I am grateful to be a part of VNA."
A huge thank you to VNA for all the care I received after my hospital stay. I could not have done without my VNA care providers."
All the VNA nurses and therapists were very kind and considerate of my needs. They made sure I had everything I needed to heal."
I have had the privilege of having the most professional and fun nursing staff at VNA. I will always request VNA services and recommend VNA to everyone."
Not only would I recommend VNA to my family and friends, but I will recommend VNA to my patients and social workers at the hospital where I work. Many thanks!"
