Complex Home Care: Part II-Family Annual Income Insurance Premium and Out-of- Pocket Expenses

摘要

The goals of this study were to provide data on the annual family income and payment for health insurance coverage and out-of-pocket expenses that are not reimbursed by third-party payers for managing complex home care. Costs reported for annual insurance premiums varied widely as did costs of deductibles, co-payments, non-reimbursed supplies, travel, or child care. The mean total out-of-pocket non-reimbursed expenses averaged $17, 923 per year per family. This series of articles presents these financial costs in relation to complex home care outcomes.
