Common pricing questions:

 
  •  Who pays for home care?  In Home Care Services Are typically Private Pay Expenses. Medicare does NOT cover non-medical Home Care. Insurance may cover some or all of the costs of Home Care if a long-term care insurance policy is in place, or if the care needs are the result of an accident. If using long term care insurance, it's your responsibility to pay Harbor Point privately and get reimbursed from the insurance policy. 
  •  How can I find out the bill rate for the care that I would like?  Call us today at (253) 341-6619. An RN or MSW will be happy to consult with you regarding your care needs and what the costs will be at Harbor Point Care.
  •  How will I be billed? Your caregiver will clock in on their phone once they arrive at your house, and then clock out at the end of the shift via telephone. Then you will receive one simple invoice each week. This Invoice will identify the caregiver(s) who provided your care, detail the amount and type of services you received, and show the pre-approved hourly rates for your service. You may elect to pay by check or credit card.
  • What is included on my bill? Your bill rate will be determined at the time of your in home assessment, before you decide to proceed with care. The bill rate you have authorized includes much more than the wages, payroll taxes, and benefits for your caregivers. It also included workers’ compensation coverage, bonding and liability insurance that protects you and your caregiver. It covers the cost of caregiver recruiting, background and reference checks, competency testing, ongoing supervision and evaluation, 24-hour access to RN supervision and, caregiver continuing education, regular reviews of caregiver credentials, and our Guarantee, with backup caregivers whenever needed.
  •  Is there a charge for my initial assessment? No.
  • What about Holidays? We observe New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving day, Christmas Day. If you decide to have services on a holiday, you will be billed at time and a half for all services during the entire 24 hour day. 
  • Will I have extra expenses? Not unless you require your caregiver to run errands on your behalf or provide you transportation to and from appointments or events. In that case you will be charged a charge per mile, and of course any additional expenses such as payment for groceries or medications purchased on your behalf. All charges for your caregiver are included in your pre-established single bill rate. If you require Nurse Delegation, there will be additional charges for nursing over-site services.
