FAQs

Maweh Solutions simplifies the process of arranging and paying for services by handling your paperwork and working with your payors to determine coverage levels. We bill the appropriate plan directly and assist with accessing reimbursement from long-term care insurance providers.

• Medicare

  Medicare is the primary payor for home health care services, offering coverage to individuals aged 65 and older, those classified as “disabled” by Social Security for at least two years, and certain other special cases. For more details, visit medicare.gov.

• Medicaid

  Medicaid is a state-funded program providing health insurance and medical assistance to individuals, families, and children who meet income eligibility requirements.

• Veteran Benefits

  Veterans’ benefits cover a broad range of services, including long-term care, home or community-based care, and nursing home care. Eligibility depends on the need for ongoing treatment, personal care, and other factors such as financial status and VA disability.

• Workers’ Compensation

  Workers’ compensation provides benefits for injuries or deaths related to employment. This includes medical treatment, wage loss during rehabilitation, and permanent disability benefits. For injuries involving an uninsured employer, medical benefits may be available through the Uninsured Employers Fund (UEF).

• Medicare Part C

  Medicare Part C, also known as Medicare Advantage, offers more plan options and expanded benefits beyond Original Medicare, including prescription drug coverage and private Medicare plans like HMOs and PPOs. Most Medicare beneficiaries are eligible for Part C plans.

• Private Pay

  If you prefer to pay for services directly without insurance assistance, Maweh Solutions is happy to discuss payment terms with you.

• Long-Term Care Insurance

  Long-term care insurance covers the cost of extended care services not typically covered by primary insurance, such as skilled, assistive, or personal care in various settings, including home and community facilities.

• Insurance Companies

  Maweh Solutions coordinates with the largest health insurance providers, including workers’ compensation, auto insurance, and employer-sponsored and consumer health plans, to ensure reimbursement for services.

• Health Care Exchange Marketplace

  The Health Care Marketplace is for individuals without employer or state-provided health coverage. It allows you to compare and select health insurance that meets your needs and budget. After Open Enrollment, you may still qualify for private coverage through the Marketplace if you experience a qualifying life event. Visit healthcare.gov for more information.

At Maweh Solutions, we value the family partnership model, which ensures comprehensive care for our clients. This model offers families two options for selecting caregivers (DSPs):

1. We can hire qualified family members, friends, or others as your caregivers (DSPs) once they meet all necessary eligibility requirements.
2. We collaborate with local colleges and organizations to recruit skilled professionals interested in becoming DSPs. Interested individuals can apply through our website, and Maweh Solutions will review their applications. We will share qualified candidates with families for interviews, allowing you to choose the best fit for your team. If you’re interested in expanding your team, please inform our office so we can connect you with potential applicants.

To get started, simply fill out and submit the online referral form available on the services page. If you have existing DSPs on your team that you’d like to retain, please have them visit our employment page and, if interested, complete the online application. Once we receive your referral form, we will reach out to initiate the process.

We are pleased to offer a competitive hourly wage ranging from $15.00 to $18.00 for DSPs. Additionally, we are planning to introduce bonuses and incentives for our team members in the future.

No, PA hours are typically provided and billed through a nursing agency via Medicaid insurance, not the Medicaid waiver. Currently, we do not offer services for PA hours. However, PAC hours under the Medicaid waiver can be used as an alternative to PA hours. Please reach out to the office for further details.

Home health care provides patients with access to the latest medical treatments in the comfort of their own homes. This approach enables patients and their families to maintain control over their living environment while being actively engaged in their care, ensuring they achieve their highest possible level of health.

Eligibility for home health services typically depends on the payer source. In most cases, the patient must meet the following criteria:

• Be temporarily confined to the home
• Be under a physician’s care with a valid physician’s order for services
• Require skilled nursing or therapy services
• Need intermittent care that is essential for treating their condition
• Be able to safely receive services in their home environment

Home health care is typically covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance plans. Maweh Solutions is here to assist you in understanding your home health benefits and coverage options.

No, you do not need to see a new physician. Your current physician will still oversee your medical care and will authorize the home health services. Our home health care team will stay in regular communication with your physician to ensure you receive the best care and that all of your needs are properly addressed.

Home health care is provided on an as-needed basis, with visits scheduled to meet the patient’s specific needs and preferences. The goal of care is to promote the patient’s health and independence, so visits typically start off more frequently and reduce as the patient improves.

Home health care can start immediately after a formal referral or request from the patient’s doctor. Once Maweh Solutions receives the referral, a representative will aim to visit the patient within 24 hours, depending on the patient’s, family’s, and/or primary caregiver’s schedule and needs.

Yes, state and federal authorities conduct periodic inspections of home health agencies. To offer services and retain their operating license, home health agencies must meet state regulatory standards and licensure criteria. Additionally, they must adhere to federal regulations to qualify for reimbursement under Medicare.

Maweh Solutions is fully licensed by the state and certified by Medicare. Additionally, we are accredited by the Joint Commission (JCO), which reflects our commitment to excellence. Our agency consistently receives top rankings on Medicare’s Home Health Compare website, which publishes and compares patient outcome measures with other agencies both statewide and nationally.

The hours you work will be determined by discussions between you and your client. The client/family and the DSP will arrange all scheduling directly.

Your responsibilities may include assisting with activities of daily living, leisure and recreational activities, social and communication skills, decision-making, self-advocacy, community integration, medication assistance, meal preparation and assistance, and other related tasks. Your goal is to support the individual in completing tasks as independently as possible. You will collaborate closely with the client and their family to establish goals and design activities that best meet their needs.

Yes, we are happy to share your information with other families seeking DSPs. If you’re interested in working additional hours, please reach out to our office, and we will gladly assist you.
