Accessing After Surgery Home Care Services

Private Funding

Private funding from allied health services can be used to cover the cost of things like transportation to and from medical appointments, medication, and even personal care services. This can be a great way to make sure that you or your loved one gets the care they need after surgery.

It can also help to ease the financial burden on family members who may not be able to afford to pay for all of the necessary care themselves while waiting for government funding to come through.

Government Funding

There are a number of government programs that can help to cover the cost of after-surgery home services. These include things like Medicaid, Medicare, and the Home and Community Care (HACC) program. Each of these programs has different eligibility requirements, so it’s important to research which one would be the best fit for you or your loved one

You can also talk to your doctor or other healthcare professionals about which program would be the best fit, as they may have suggestions based on your individual situation.
