Most Long Term Care Insurance Accepted

Horizon Nursing Service will accept assignment of insurance benefits as long as it covers home health care services. If allowed by your insurance company we will be happy to confirm the extent of your benefits. After obtaining a signed assignment of benefit from you, we will bill your insurance company directly and send you an invoice for portions not covered, if applicable. Because some insurance company will not allow us to verify your exact benefit information, we would like to give you some important tips when verifying your benefits.

1.      Remember to ask the representative if you have an elimination period.  An elimination period refers to a period of time that you the policyholder must pay out of pocket before the insurance company will start making payments.  Elimination periods vary depending on the benefits that the policyholder purchased.

2.      Ask the representative what is your daily benefit allowance.  This means what is the maximum dollar amount the policy will pay each day.

3.   Finally you want to find out what is the maximum dollar amount of your entire policy and for how many years will the policy be in effect for.
