Charges for Home Health

Payment for The Aspen Group services can be made through Medicare, Medicaid, worker's compensation, private insurance, or private pay.

What is Home Health?

Home healthcare is a professional assistance service encompassing a full range of medical care. A team of skilled professionals and administers provide specialized care under a physician's direction within the patients' homes. Care may include nursing care, special therapy and assistance with personal care. Physicians often order homecare after hospitalization or after a period of general mental instability. Because selecting a home health provider is up to the patient or caregiver, it is important to know about home healthcare and the services each agency provides.

Homecare can benefit patients in many ways:

Provides quicker recovery time - Typically, patients recover faster at home.

Provides convenience - Patients regularly can have scheduled visits without leaving home.

Provides privacy - Patients are in their homes rather than an office or exam room.

Provides comfort - Patients are in a familiar and safe place.

Cost effective - Home healthcare usually is less expensive compared with a long-term hospital or nursing home stay.
