Types
of Home Care Providers
Medicare-Certified
Home Health Agencies
These agencies are certified to provide services to Medicare beneficiaries and required to provide part-time, intermittent skilled nursing services with at least one other therapeutic service (occupational, physical and speech therapy), or medical social services. Medicare-certified home health agencies are licensed by the State of Hawaii to provide skilled care in the home. These organizations also provide services to Medicaid recipients or those with other types of insurance.
Private
Duty Home Care Agencies
Private duty home care services range from personal care assistants to specialized nursing technologies on a short term or long term basis. Private duty services are requested by the individual and the individual assumes responsibility for payment of the services. Medicare does not reimburse these services.
Medicare Certified Hospices
Hospice is a specialized form of inter-disciplinary care which provides palliative care to terminally ill individuals and supportive care for the primary care giver and family members. Hospice is a covered benefit of most insurance plans.
Home
Infusion Pharmacies
These companies provide pharmaceuticals and related services in the home. They specialize in "high tech" care, such as enteral or parenteral nutrition, pain management, chemotherapy and antibiotic therapy. Home infusion services are a benefit of most insurance plans.
Home
Medical Equipment & Supply Companies
These companies provide home medical equipment and supplies. This may include home respiratory products, home phototherapy, wheelchairs, rehabilitation equipment and home safety devices. Insurance frequently covers a portion of these products.
