Private Pay

Private Pay means that individuals or their families cover the cost of services directly, rather than going through Medicaid, Medicare, or other insurance programs. This option gives families greater flexibility and choice in the type, frequency, and level of care provided. It is important to consider:

• Flexibility in Services: Private pay allows individuals to access services that may not be fully covered by government programs, such as additional personal care hours, enhanced meal options, or specialized support.

• Personalized Care Plans: Families can work directly with the agency to customize services based on specific needs, preferences, or schedules without being limited by outside program requirements.

• Simplicity: Payments are handled directly between the family and the agency, making the process straightforward and easy to manage.

• Expanded Access: Private pay may be used alongside other funding sources to fill in gaps in coverage, ensuring continuity of care.

Why it matters:
Private pay gives families peace of mind knowing they have full control over the care their loved one receives. It ensures access to high-quality, individualized services whenever they are needed.
