Yes, all billable services provided to our residents/patients will be submitted to our contracted insurance carriers.

Masonicare will submit bills to your insurance company and will do everything possible to process your claim. However, it may become necessary for you to contact your insurance company or supply additional information to expedite payment.

We remind patients that they are ultimately responsible for their bills. Insurance authorization is not a guarantee of payment. The explanation of benefits provided separately by your insurance company will detail the amount you owe to Masonicare.

There are two types of home care:

• Medical home health care - this service is provided by visiting nurses, therapists and others, and is generally covered by Medicare, Medicaid or private insurance. Masonicare provides this care through Masonicare Home Health.
• Non-medical assistance - this service is provided by homemaker companions, personal care attendants and live-ins. Masonicare provides this assistance on a private pay basis through Masonicare at Home.
   

No, patients can get home care wherever they call home- a house, apartment, family member’s residence, senior living community or assisted living facility.

Medical home health care is often utilized after patients are discharged from a hospital or nursing facility.  It can also be used when a patient has a significant change in their medical condition.  Medical home health care must be ordered by a physician who will oversee a patient’s plan of care.  You have a right to choose what agency you’d like to provide this care for you- just let your doctor or discharge planner know your preference.

Medicare patients receiving home health care must be considered homebound- however, this doesn’t mean that you can’t leave the house at all.  You are allowed to leave your home for short durations if it’s a considerable taxing effort that requires assistance. Instances such as attending doctor’s appointments, religious services, trips to the barber, etc. are allowed as well.  Your home health nurse or therapist will assess your homebound status.

No, since no medical care is provided, patients and family members can simply call and initiate services on their own.

Masonicare offers a variety of services, such as Short-Term Rehabilitation, Long Term Care and Memory Care.

Short-Term Rehab is ideal for people who are discharging from the hospital after an illness, injury or surgery, but aren’t ready to return home just yet. Short-Term Rehab provides a higher level of support that includes 24-hour nursing and 7 day-a-week therapy. The focus is on regaining your independence so you’ll have a smooth transition home and to reduce your risk of rehospitalization.

Long-Term Care may be the answer when a loved one needs more ongoing assistance than can be provided in the home. We develop an individualized care plan for each of our Long-Term Care residents based on their unique needs - medical, social, emotional, and spiritual.

Our secure Memory Care units provide a safe environment for those with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. Residents receive personalized attention from a staff specially trained in memory support.

Yes, it’s your right to decide where you’d like to go. Talk to your hospital discharge planner and let them know you’d like to have your rehab at Masonicare.

Hospice care is available to individuals with terminal illnesses who choose to no longer receive curative treatments.  Hospice addresses physical comfort, such as pain control, while also providing emotional and spiritual support for patients and their families.  Palliative Care is an option for people with serious illnesses who may still be receiving treatments.  Goals of Palliative Care include symptom management, fewer hospitalizations, and a better quality of life.

Hospice Care isn’t just for a person’s last few days or weeks  - in fact, many patients receive hospice care for months.  As a guideline, life expectancy for someone receiving hospice care is 6 months or less if the disease followed its normal course.

Medicare, Medicaid and many private insurance carriers cover Hospice and Palliative Care if an individual qualifies.

Palliative Care can be provided in a patient’s or family member’s home or assisted living facility.  Hospice is also provided in those settings, as well as nursing homes and hospitals if 24-hour care is needed.

Hospice and Palliative Care services are determined based on each patient’s unique needs. Types of care include skilled nursing, therapy, social work, and home health aides.  Additional Hospice services include spiritual care and bereavement support, complementary therapies, and hospice volunteers.  Homemakers, companions and personal care attendants may be used on a private pay basis.
