Financial Information

Do you know who is financially responsible for your stay? Below are some guidelines on coverage of our services.

Skilled or Post-Acute Care
Skilled care is usually covered by Medicare, private insurance, an HMO (health maintenance organization) or the Veterans Administration (VA). Skilled care usually follows a hospital stay and the resident must meet strict qualifying and medical criteria.

Long-Term Care
Long-term care is usually covered by the resident or a responsible party on a private basis, or through a financial assistance program such as Medicaid. In some situations, the VA will cover long-term care. Some insurance companies will cover long-term care for a defined period following benefits exhaustion of Medicare Part A if the beneficiary has a long-term care rider written into his or her policy.

Respite Care
Respite care is usually covered by the resident or a responsible party on a private basis, or through a financial assistance program such as Medicaid. Respite care is typically given for a limited amount of time (one to two weeks) to give the at home caregiver a break. Occasionally, hospice programs will cover a short respite – please consult with your hospice agency for additional information.

Palliative or End of Life Care
Palliative care is usually covered for a limited number of days through the hospice program or by the resident or a responsible party on a private basis. If eligible, one may also be covered through a financial assistance program such as Medicaid.

Medicaid
Eligibility for Medicaid is determined by resources, income and medical necessity. To apply for benefits in Oregon, contact the Senior & Persons with Disabilities office closest to you.
