“In policy break, Medicare to pay for respite services under new dementia care model”

“In policy break, Medicare to pay for respite services under new dementia care model,” by Liza Berger, McKnight’s Home Care

“Aging services providers and experts are hailing a new dementia care payment model that, for the first time, allows Medicare fee-for-service to pay for respite services for unpaid family caregivers.”

LTC Comment, Stephen A. Moses, President, Center for Long-Term Care Reform:

Translation: don’t worry about planning for long-term care, much less paying insurance premiums. The government has you covered. This news might be more hopeful if Medicare were not already on the verge of insolvency.
