Typically, health care insurance will cover a portion, if not all of the costs associated with various therapies that can be received at home. Before a patient leaves the hospital, our authorization specialists obtain approval from their insurance carrier. Depending on the coverage, most payers, including Medicare, Medi-Cal, CCS (or other agencies), managed care, and/or private insurance will pick up all or a portion of the costs associated with home care therapy and equipment.
If a patient lacks coverage, financial hardship procedures are available to determine coverage by other sources. Payment plans are also available, depending on the therapy and degree of financial hardship.
