PAYING FOR HOME CARE
Understand the payment path before care begins.
Rates and coverage depend on the schedule, care request and the rules of any benefit or insurance policy involved.
THE SHORT ANSWER
What families should know first
Peacemaker does not publish one universal hourly rate. Rates vary with appointment length, days of the week and total hours; insurance or VA payment depends on the policy or program decision-maker.
Private pay
A care coordinator discusses the schedule and tasks before providing pricing. Ask what is included, how schedule changes are handled and when charges begin.
Long-term-care insurance
Peacemaker helps clients complete insurer-required service paperwork at no additional charge. Coverage, benefit triggers, elimination periods, provider requirements and reimbursement decisions remain controlled by the policy and insurer.
Using a policy?
Gather the policy, claim contact and any forms the insurer has provided.

VA controls eligibility, clinical criteria, authorization, service availability and any copay. Peacemaker does not promise VA approval or payment.
