Will my insurance cover home health care?
Home health care can be covered by private insurance, Medicare, and VA benefits. Contrary to popular belief, home health care is often more affordable than inpatient care from a skilled nursing facility or hospital.

What determines Medicare eligibility for home health care?
As a general guide to determine your eligibility, we recommend asking yourself the following questions:
- Am I having difficulty managing medications
- Do I have an upcoming surgery that may require rehabilitation?
- Am I struggling to manage a chronic illness
- Have I fallen recently, or am I at an increased risk of falling?
- Am I unable to leave my home independently
- Are basic tasks around the house becoming too much to manage?
- Have I been to the hospital or emergency room recently?
How can I get started with home health care?
To get started, an order from your primary care provider is required. From there, we can schedule a visit to your home. During our visit, we’ll assess your current state of health, answer any questions you may have, and develop a personalized plan.
If you need help obtaining an order from your primary care provider, you can give us a call at (701) 515-0696 or fill out an online form for assistance.
