Medicare at Home | CareLinx

In-home care now covered under supplemental benefit expansion

As a part of these changes, CMS is redefining health-related supplemental benefits to include services that increase health and improve quality of life, including coverage of non-skilled in-home supports.

-Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)

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.”

The member journey

A member is discharged from the hospital after an acute episode.

The care management team identifies and refers members who need ADL/IADL support at home to CareLinx.

A dedicated CareLinx Care Advisor calls the member and guides them through the matching process.

The member reviews, interviews, and hires the perfect caregiver for the job.

Through the CareLinx built-in care plan and electronic visit verification, the caregiver delivers superior care and captures real-time health data for the members’ clinical team.

The CareLinx caregiver provides visibility into health issues before health declines, enabling prevention and intervention opportunities in real time.
