WellCare lied about my coverage and being able to keep my doctors. I am a cancer survivor and their lies have put my health in jeopardy because I could not keep the oncologist and care that I’d had. Now I’m trying to set everything up again with the insurance I should have never left.

I can not say enough good things about everyone that helped us through this whole process! Everyone from reception to the visiting nurse were kind, knowledgeable, and reassuring during a very stressful time for my family! I don't know what we would have done without them!

With the new home health regulations, we have run into companies that have an unacceptably long lag time to start of care , fragmented communication, and care issues . Boris is super amazing and sends a professional to evaluate and make the process as seamless as possible , whether by onsite assessment or medical review from the hospital and skilled nursing facility progress notes, with particular attention to the frail patient and family education and support .This is especially noteworthy considering the complexity of providing in home care. Wellcare owner , administrator Boris, and staff have also received rave reviews for their staff's kindness, skill, and responsiveness to past patients and families we have referred for care . I am an RN and licensed skilled nursing home administrator, for a CMS five star facility with over twenty five years experience. Recommend Wellcare Home Health .

Yes. Wellcare Home Health is a Medicare-certified home health agency, so Medicare Part A or Part B pays in full for skilled nursing, therapy and home health aide visits when a doctor orders them and the patient is homebound. There is no copay for covered home health visits. Medicare rates the agency's quality of patient care 5.0 out of 5 stars.
For Medicare to pay, yes: a doctor, nurse practitioner or physician assistant must certify that care is needed and sign a plan of care. Families can call the agency first, and the agency will usually contact the doctor to arrange the order. Ongoing help with bathing, meals and companionship is a different service, non-medical home care, which needs no referral.
