Home Care and Hospice
Home health services are covered by Medicare and most insurances. For patients who have no coverage or limited coverage, MidMichigan Home Care is often able to use United Way and donor funds to cover services. MidMichigan's hospice program is Medicare- and Medicaid-certified, which means that hospice services are covered by Medicare and Medicaid for qualified patients. For patients who do not have Medicare, Medicaid or other insurance coverage, United Way and donations to MidMichigan Home Care are used.
