My family member takes care of me. Can they get paid for the services provided?

Does my health insurance cover long-term home care services?

Health insurance coverage for long-term home care services depends on your specific insurance plan. Most private health insurance plans, including employer-sponsored coverage, do not typically cover long-term home care services, as these are considered custodial rather than medical care. However, some plans may offer limited coverage for short-term skilled nursing or rehabilitative care after a hospitalization. It’s best to review your policy or contact your insurance provider to confirm what is covered.

Can my family member receive payment for providing my care?

Yes, in many cases, family members can receive compensation for caregiving through programs like the Michigan Home Help Program. Eligibility requirements include:

• The individual receiving care must qualify for Medicaid and require assistance with daily activities.
• The family caregiver must be approved and registered as a service provider.
