Private Insurance
Some insurance plans may cover a portion of nursing home costs. Your policy will indicate the extent of your coverage or you may wish to call your insurance agent or company benefits manager to discuss details. The social worker can assist if you are uncertain about whom to contact.
Will the nursing home bill me or the insurance company? Some nursing homes will not bill private insurance companies directly, but ask for payment from the patient. Reimbursement is provided to the patient from the insurance company.
