Home Health Services: Insurance / Private Pay

In addition to Medicare and Medicaid home health services, Outreach Health Services provides skilled home care and support services to persons who pay for the services themselves or are covered by third-party payers. 

We employ nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, home health aides and medical social workers, plus homemaker-companions who assist patients with personal care and daily living activities.

Outreach Health Services currently has statewide and regional contracts with various managed care organizations as well as other third-party payers.  As different opportunities become available, we have adapted services and hired qualified staff to fit the needs of our patients and our payer sources.

All services are available on an hourly or per-visit basis. For insurance cases, Outreach Health Services will verify the patient's coverage, including any co-payment, and bill the insurance company or other third-party payer for the patient.

HOME HEALTH SERVICES: Medicare Approved

Outreach Health Services is meeting the growing demand for superior, short-term, intermittent care through its Medicare Services Division.

Under a plan of care and orders from a client's physician, Outreach provides a broad spectrum of skilled home health services:

HOME HEALTH SERVICES: Medicaid Eligible

Some home health services are covered by Medicaid, which is a state-funded program that provides nursing services and home health aides for qualified individuals.

To qualify for Medicaid home health services, the patient must be confined to the home due to illness or injury, and leaving the home must require a considerable and taxing effort, assistance of another and/or assistive devices. 

Services must be ordered by a physician, be reasonable and necessary to the treatment of the injury or illness and initially require a nurse, physical therapist or speech therapist.

COMMUNITY CARE SERVICES DIVISION

Additionally, Outreach also offers the Community Care Services Division which provides a wide range of services to the elderly and disabled that help them  preserve their dignity by maintaining their independence at home.

These services are provided through the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS) to individuals who meet income and Medicaid eligibility requirements under the CCAS (Community Care for the Aged and Disabled) and CBA (Community Based Alternatives) programs and include:

Primary Home Care / Family Care (PHC/FC) - Persons whose health problems cause them to be functionally limited in performing activities of daily living can benefit from our Primary Home Care/Family Care services. PHC provides non-technical, personal care tasks such as: bathing, dressing, exercising, routine hair and skin care, toileting, transfer/ambulation, meal preparation and assisting with self-administered medications. Services also can include home care management such as cleaning, laundry and shopping, escort to doctors appointments and other medical treatments. An initial physician's order is required for participation in this program.

LifeBox24.7 - Emergency Response Services (ERS)

Wouldn’t it be a great comfort to be able to live independently, knowing that you are safe and secure in your home and that help can be there when you need it?

Receiving help is as simple as pushing a button. LifeBox24.7, a private pay ERS device, provides instant connection for help whenever it is needed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

	Carbon Monoxide Alarm
	24-Hour Monitoring

Community Based Alternatives (CBA)  - CBA illustrates Texas' commitment to the aged and disabled who would like to live at home or in an assisted living environment rather than in a nursing home. Elderly and disabled clients can receive attendant services, nursing care and therapies through this program. Medical supplies, durable medical equipment and home modifications also can be provided through CBA. A physician's order is needed for participation in this program.
 

Adult Day Care (El Paso only)  - El Paso residents who are responsible for elderly family members have an alternative service available for those times they cannot personally care for their loved ones.

The Outreach Adult Day Care operates from 7 a.m. until 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. It provides breakfast, a hot meal and snacks, all planned by a nutritionist. Games, activities, arts and crafts, and scheduled outings are offered. A nurse is available at all times to dispense medication. Transportation is available and drop-ins are welcome. Medicaid payment is accepted (with Texas Department of Aging and Disabilities Services approval) as well as private payment.

We also offer the services on a private pay basis for those who do not qualify through DADS. For more information, or to arrange services, please complete our Request for Information form below.
