Medicare At Home
For Medicare Advantage Plans
CareLinx is an in-home care provider that partners with MA plans to provide members with non-medical home care through:
Supplemental Benefit, Chronic Disease Management, VAIS, and Transition Care
CareLinx is the first and only national caregiver network equipped with the proven experience and scalability necessary for operationalizing these services for large health plans.
In-Home Care Now Covered Under Supplemental Benefit Expansion
Previously, CMS has not allowed an item or service to be eligible as a supplemental benefit if the primary purpose includes daily maintenance. Now the benefit can be used…
“to compensate for physical impairments…or reduce avoidable emergency and healthcare utilization.”
