HOME MEDICAL EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES

Home medical equipment (walker, wheelchair, hospital bed, oxygen, etc.) is
covered separately and may be supplied by a medical equipment supplier of
your choice or a contracted supplier, as required by your insurance.

Medical supplies may be required to carry out your plan of care. All medical
supplies must be coordinated with our agency while you are receiving
Medicare-covered home health services. If you arrange for these supplies on

your own while under our plan of care, you may be responsible for the charges.
PAYMENT SOURCES
CHARGES

We accept payment for services from Medicare, Medicaid, (e.g., TennCare, Medi-
Cal, MaineCare, MassHealth) workers’ compensation, private insurance or
private pay. Some insurers may limit the number and type of home care visits
that they will pay for and may require pre-certification and/or co-payments. We
will inform you, your family, caregiver or representative of all charges and
methods of payment before or upon admission. If you are a private pay or
uninsured patient, we will provide you with a “good faith estimate” of what you
may be charged, at your request or prior to receiving the item or service.
Our agency will bill Medicare and Medicaid for our services on your behalf.
We will accept Medicare assigned payment as payment in full for the services
we provide as long as you meet the qualifying requirements and the services
are covered by the Medicare program. If services are ordered which are not
covered by the Medicare or Medicaid programs, you will be notified by the
agency before these services are provided so that you can make other
financial arrangements for the necessary care.

Please notify the agency immediately if you decide to enroll in a Medicare
Advantage Plan, other insurance or hospice. The Original Medicare Plan may
not pay for the services we are providing if you are enrolled in a Medicare
Advantage Plan, other insurance or hospice.
If you are receiving Medicare benefits, you may receive a Medicare Summary
Notice (MSN) after we have submitted a final claim for services. The MSN lists
services and charges billed to Medicare on your behalf and the amount
Medicare paid. This is not a bill.
If you are an Original Medicare (fee for service) beneficiary and we believe
Medicare may not pay for an item or service that Medicare usually covers,
you or your authorized representative will be issued and asked to sign and
date an Advance Beneficiary Notice (ABN) prior to receiving the service.
