Most plans generally pay for skilled home health services with a cost-sharing provision.
Hospice benefits cover most services including nursing, social work, therapies, personal care, medications and medical supplies and equipment. Cost-sharing varies, but is often not required for Hospice benefits. Be careful to ensure the provider you choose is one accepted by your insurance company. Many are contracting with certain providers to be the home health services provider for their plan. Most providers will work with you before services start to ensure payment by your insurance company.
