Who pays for Inspirations?

The services provided by Inspirations are covered by the Medicare and Medicaid Home Care benefits. Most private insurance companies also cover these ser vices, however, there may be a co-payment. Our financial counselor will help analyze individual coverage. If a charge should occur, patients are informed of their responsibility up front.

Telehealth®

Telemonitoring is a growing application in the area of disease management for physicians working with patients who have cardiac and respiratory illnesses. When primary physicians see a need, and the patient is appropriately assessed, telemonitoring services may become part of the patient’s plan of care, utilizing electronic or digital devices.

A benefit of this technology is the ability to care for the patient in their own homes or remote areas, offering the ability to collect and transfer medical information.
