HOME CARE INSURANCE SERVICES - Using a Private Health Fund
Navigating the path to recovery after an accident or surgery can be challenging, but with Bannister In Home Care, you don’t have to do it alone. Our dedicated team provides a range of home care services to support your recovery, and if you have private health insurance, you may be able to claim these services with home care insurance.
Understanding Your Private Health Coverage
Private health insurance is designed to offer you more choices and cover a wider range of services than public health insurance. Many private health funds include provisions for home care services, particularly when they are part of a recovery plan after hospitalisation due to an accident or surgery. These services can help you regain your independence and improve your quality of life as you heal.
What Home Care Services Can You Claim?
Private health funds often cover various home care services, which can include:
Domestic Assistance
Cleaning and Household Maintenance: After surgery or an accident, even simple tasks like cleaning and maintaining your home can be overwhelming. Our domestic assistance services ensure your home remains clean and comfortable, so you can focus on your recovery.
Meal Preparation: Eating nutritious meals is crucial for recovery. Our caregivers can assist with meal planning, shopping, and preparation, ensuring you have healthy, home-cooked meals.
Personal Care
Hygiene Assistance: Personal care can be challenging when mobility is restricted. Our compassionate caregivers provide assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting, maintaining your dignity and comfort.
Mobility Support: To help prevent falls and ensure safe movement around your home, we offer support with walking, transferring from bed to chair, and other mobility needs.
Shopping Assistance
Errands and Grocery Shopping: Getting out to do shopping or run errands can be difficult after an accident or surgery. Our caregivers can take care of these tasks for you, ensuring your pantry is stocked and your prescriptions are filled.
How to Claim Home Care Insurance Services
Claiming home care services through your private health fund typically involves a few steps:
Review Your Policy: Check your private health insurance policy to understand what home care services are covered. Look for sections related to post-hospitalisation care or rehabilitation services.
Obtain a Referral: Many health funds require a referral from your doctor or specialist, detailing the necessity of home care services as part of your recovery plan.
Get a Care Plan: Bannister In Home Care can work with you and your healthcare provider to develop a care plan that outlines the services you need. This plan can be submitted to your health fund for approval.
Submit Your Claim: Once you have the necessary documentation, submit your claim to your health fund. Some funds may have specific forms or online submission processes.
Receive Approval and Start Care: After your claim is approved, you can start receiving the home care services you need. Bannister In Home Care will coordinate with your health fund to ensure smooth and continuous support.
