Are your home care services covered through Medicare, Medicaid or Insurance?

•  As a non-medical home care agency, we do not accept Medicare, Medicaid, or health insurance. We can accept certain long-term care insurance policies. We are happy to review your long-term care insurance policy to assist you in determining coverage.

What are my payment options for home care services?

               Private Pay

• Elite Angels Healthcare understands that every situation is different and insurance plans sometimes have limits or restrictions. Despite these circumstances, your loved one may need in-home care, sitting services or support. For this reason, we offer many affordable private pay in-home care services. Our qualified staff will come to your home, whether you have a child or an aging parent who needs help to remain independent. Surprisingly, you may find that paying for in-home care out of pocket is often more cost-effective for families as an alternative to assisted living centers. Plus, it gives the family member needing care the chance to be more self-sufficient and independent, while having the comfort of our compassionate staff to lend a hand

              Long-Term Care Insurance

• Some long-term care insurance policies cover certain in-home care services. Check your policy to see if it covers the services you need at home. We work with many long-term care (LTC) insurance companies to bring you the covered services you need over the short or long term.

It’s often a confusing and burdensome process to figure out if your insurance or the Veterans Administration will cover the home care services you need. We’re here to help. We can help you find out if you qualify for any VA programs.
