- Are there daily, weekly, or monthly benefit limits?

What families usually want to know.
Policies vary widely, so these answers explain Olive Branch’s role rather than promising what a specific policy will cover.
Does Olive Branch accept long-term care insurance?
Olive Branch is a private-pay provider. Families may use applicable long-term care insurance benefits to seek reimbursement when their policy allows it. We work with many carriers and help with available claim documentation.
Do you bill Medicare or Medicaid?
No. Olive Branch companion-care services are private pay and are not billed to Medicare or Medicaid.
Can you tell me whether my policy will pay?
No home care provider should promise that without the carrier’s confirmation. Your insurer determines eligibility, covered services, benefit triggers, limits, and reimbursement.
What if my carrier needs a plan of care or invoices?
Tell our team what the carrier requested. We can provide or help organize available documentation associated with Olive Branch services.
What is an elimination period?
Some policies require a waiting period or a certain number of eligible service days before benefits begin. Your carrier can explain exactly how your policy calculates it.
Can care begin while a claim is pending?
Because Olive Branch is private pay, families remain responsible for payment according to the service agreement while any insurance reimbursement is pending, unless a different written arrangement has been confirmed.
Have a policy and not sure what comes next?
Bring the carrier’s questions, forms, or documentation request to the conversation. We will help you understand what Olive Branch can provide.
