Coverage, network participation, billing, authorization, approved hours, patient responsibility, and service availability vary by payer, plan, eligibility, documentation, medical necessity, location, staffing, and approved plan of care.

Insurance and payer options we work with

We work with a range of insurance and payer partners to help Florida families explore coverage options for home health care, private duty nursing, home health aide services, therapy, and other approved in-home care.

Participation and covered services may vary by plan, product, service, location, eligibility, authorization, and network requirements. Contact Dynamiks Home Care to verify current coverage for the person receiving care.

Different coverage pathways have different rules

A payer name alone does not determine whether a specific home care service will be covered. The patient, requested service, benefit plan, clinical documentation, medical necessity, authorization, network status, and approved plan of care can all affect coverage.

Florida Medicaid

Home health and Medicaid programs

Florida Medicaid covers certain medically necessary home health services for eligible recipients. General home health visits and pediatric Private Duty Nursing and Family Home Health Aide services follow different coverage and eligibility requirements.

Medicare & Long Term Care

Coverage depends on the type of care

Medicare may cover qualifying home health services when applicable eligibility requirements are met. Long term care policies may provide different benefits for extended home care and should be reviewed according to the individual policy.

Florida Medicaid home health coverage

Florida Medicaid home health visits can include medically necessary skilled nursing services provided by an RN or LPN and visits provided by a qualified home health aide for eligible recipients.

Eligibility for general Medicaid home health services includes physician involvement and an order for home health services, qualifying medical or functional needs, and a determination that the service can be safely and appropriately provided in the home or another authorized setting.

Pediatric PDN and FHHA have separate requirements.

Florida Medicaid Private Duty Nursing and Family Home Health Aide services have a separate pediatric eligibility pathway. Current state guidance requires recipients receiving these services to be under age 21 and includes physician orders and other program-specific requirements.

Eligibility does not mean automatic approval for a specific number of nursing or aide hours. Medical necessity, authorization, documentation, approved hours, and other payer requirements apply.
