It is NOT covered under Medicare Part A, as that is responsible for paying for home health therapy that requires the patient to be homebound.

Great news! On January 1, 2018 Medicare removed the cap on the amount of therapy a person can receive as an outpatient. Medicare continues to require that outpatient therapy services be medically necessary in order to be paid for by Medicare. Private pay therapy services are available should you request them after Medicare deems your therapy no longer medically necessary. Goodcare AtHome Rehab will monitor Medicare regulations and notify you should it be necessary during your treatment.
If your primary payer is a commercial insurance company, or you have a Medicare replacement plan, Goodcare AtHome Rehab billing staff will obtain authorization for the number of visits allowed by the insurer.
We accept a wide variety of insurances. We choose to be in network with some insurances and out of network for others. Our in network participation is primarily for Medicare, Medicaid, or for those insurances who have a Medicare replacement plan. Supplemental insurances do not require us to be in network to reimburse their portion of the claim. Please contact Goodcare AtHome Rehab at 605-231-2490 if you have questions about our ability to accept your insurance plan.
Goodcare AtHome Rehab will make their best effort to verify primary insurance benefits based on the information received from the patient prior to start of therapy. If we are out of network with an insurance company, we will notify the patient or the responsible party to ensure that they are aware of their plan’s out of network coverage and gain approval for initiation of therapy. Due to the individual nature of insurance coverage and benefits, it is ultimately the responsibility of the patient and/or responsible party to be aware of any coverage or benefit limitations.
If the therapist determines that your therapy is no longer medically necessary, but you desire to continue with our services, we will present you with an Advanced Beneficiary Notice (ABN) and inform you of all your options in billing the continuation of your therapy services. At that time, the private pay rate will be discussed with you and your signature on the ABN will be recorded.
