Are Senior Home Care Services Covered By Insurance?

At Visiting Angels, we are often asked if our senior home care services are covered by insurance.  When most people ask that question they are typically referring to Medicare or a major medical health insurance policy.

Unfortunately, Medicare and health insurance policies do not cover Elder Care services, no matter if it is Visiting Angels or any other home health care provider.

Under certain circumstances and for a very limited period of time, Medicare or health insurance providers may cover bathing and dressing by a home health organization, but they do not cover other home care (activities of daily living) services.

If you have any specific questions regarding your insurance coverage , contact your insurance provider today or contact Visiting Angels for further clarification about the services you need.
