Medicaid long-term care programs, managed care plans, VA, and private pay — a plain-language look at what helps cover in-home care.
Cost is often the first question families ask, and it shouldn't stand between your loved one and the care they need. In Wisconsin, several programs help cover in-home care — here's a plain-language overview.
Medicaid long-term care programs
Most in-home personal and supportive care is funded through Medicaid long-term care programs, which may include:
- Family Care and IRIS
- iCare and Community Care
- Wisconsin Medicaid (T19)
Managed care, VA, and other coverage
We also work with a range of plans and programs, including UnitedHealthcare, Anthem Blue Cross, MHS, VA benefits, and Workman's Compensation. If you don't see your plan listed, ask us — we'll check.
Private pay
Private pay is always an option, and it offers the most flexibility in scheduling and services. Many families use it to add hours on top of a program, or while an application is being processed.
