Does ANS provide services to patients covered by long term care agreements?
Generally, no, because home care under long term care insurance focuses on assistance with daily living (ADL) which is typically a personal care service (bathing, cooking, housekeeping, shopping, companionship) rather than a skilled medical service. ANS does not provide ADL services because these are not within its defined scope but stands ready to provide skilled medical/nursing services to these patients if the need arises. In some instances skilled nursing services delivered at home may be covered by long term care insurance but this should be confirmed.
