How to Pay for Home Healthcare

Let us guide you in exploring financial options that can meet your home health goals.

Medicaid

Medicaid is a federally funded and state administered program created to provide medical assistance to eligible, low income populations. Home Health Care in Mississippi is administered through the Mississippi Division of Medicaid's Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waiver program. Mississippi's HCBS waiver program pays for home healthcare services.

Medicare

Medicare is a federal program that pays for Medicare beneficiaries to get certain health care services in their home, if they meet certain eligibility criteria and if the services are considered reasonable and necessary for the treatment of their illness or injury. This is known as the Medicare home health benefit.

VA

The Veterans Administration (VA) pays for veterans to receive home healthcare services. The home healthcare services covered by the VA are defined as: Skilled Home Health Care Services (SHHC) and Homemaker and Home Health Aide Services (H/HHA).

Insurance

Most private insurers will pay for some form of home healthcare service when a physician has determined that it is medically needed. Check your insurance policy for specific information about home healthcare coverage.
