Most home care charges are paid by the government through its Medicare and Medicaid programs. In addition, many services are paid by insurance, managed care programs, the Veterans Administration, Workers’ Compensation, the Department for the Aging, or directly by the patient or family. When you contact EHCS, Inc. for service, a reimbursement specialist will match your services with the appropriate payor. We will work with the patient and family to make certain your services are paid for in the most efficient and beneficial manner.
If you or your loved one is already receiving home care services from a Managed Care Organization, and you would like more services than Medicare or a private insurance company will cover, choosing to receive additional services from EHCS, Inc.offers significant benefits that help streamline your care. First, you’ll still be able to receive care through VNSNY (that is, you won’t have to give up the services that are covered by Medicare). You can also arrange to keep the same home health aide. In addition, when you use VNSNY and EHCS, Inc. together, your private care services are provided at a reduced rate.
Because EHCS, Inc. is a licensed home care agency, we are not eligible to be reimbursed by government insurance plans such as Medicare or Medicaid. (We are an affiliate of the Visiting Nurse Service of New York, a certified home health care agency that accepts Medicare and Medicaid.) Private or commercial insurance plans will often pay for some of the care provided by a licensed agency, and EHCS, Inc.will work with your insurance carrier to determine coverage.
Some home care services may be covered by a government insurance program, such as Medicare or Medicaid. But what are your options if you don’t qualify for these plans, or if you want more services than they cover? You may choose to pay for these services out-of-pocket, or obtain them through a private insurance plan or long-term care plan.
