Providing private duty care for a loved one who needs assistance, companionship or supervision because of physical or cognitive impairment is generally not covered under a PPO or HMO healthcare plan.
However, most long-term care insurance policies do cover the cost of in-home care, both hourly and live-in 24/7, for a specified period of time at a pre-established daily or monthly benefit.
Choosing an agency that specializes in advocating for clients with long-term care insurance policies is added value and reduces the burden of costs by simplifying the claim process and ensuring that reimbursements are made correctly and in a timely manner.
