Skilled services are paid at 100% by Medicare, Medicaid and Tricare. Other insurance plans we participate with, such as Medicare Advantage plans, may have different rates or coverage based on the specifics of the insurance plan. Our intake and billing departments will coordinate with your insurance company prior to starting care so that you fully understand your benefits before we start care.
What is the difference between skilled and non-skilled care? Which do you provide?
Skilled care is care that is performed by a licensed professional, such as a nurse or a therapist. This includes care such as medication management, disease management, wound care, joint replacement care, home exercise programs, etc. Non-skilled care (or personal care) describes services performed by a caregiver or companion, which is not covered by Medicare. The care plan for this aide is developed by the Registered Nurse and Case Manager at the assessment during admission. Silver Lining Home Healthcare provides personal care services.
A registered nurse is available for urgent questions or situations 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
