non medical home care

If you or someone you love has a long term care policy, a patient care coordinator from Accountable Home Care can discuss home care services.  It is always helpful to have your long term care policy available so a representative from our nurse registry and your long term care agent can review the terms with you.   It is important to us that clients have a complete understanding if there are any out of pocket expenses prior to the long term care insurance paying for care.  Most people that ask for assistance have never used their long term care policy and the process seems overwhelming.  Families and clients alike can be assured we can ease any uncertainties to ensure the claim filing is not a painful process.

Benefits of Using a Long Term Care Policy for Custodial Care

We help facilitate opening an insurance claim with the long term care insurance provider and the patient.  Common terms such as Elimination Periods, Monthly or Daily Benefit, Care Advisory Services, Stay at Home Benefits and Assistance with Daily Living Requirements are discussed as part of the intake process.

Hiring a licensed caregiver to provide non-medical home care in the home does not require a prescription from a doctor. Often times a physician will write a prescription for a home health aide to assist in conjunction with other services requiring a prescription such as Medicare Home Health Services. Medicare Home Health requires a prescription from a physician.
