PAYING FOR HOME CARE
What home care costs, and how families pay for it.
Cost is an important part of planning care. Start with the hours and support your family wants to discuss, then ask Peacemaker for pricing based on that schedule. Insurance and benefit programs make their own coverage decisions.
THE SHORT ANSWER
What families should know first
Peacemaker prices care for the requested schedule rather than using one universal hourly rate. Ask for the terms that apply to your plan; the insurer or benefit program decides any coverage or reimbursement.
Private pay
A care coordinator discusses the schedule and tasks before providing pricing. Ask what is included, how schedule changes are handled and when charges begin.
Use the estimator to total the weekly hours you want to discuss before asking for a schedule-specific quote. The estimate is not a price quote.

Peacemaker helps clients complete insurer-required service paperwork at no additional charge. Coverage, benefit triggers, elimination periods, provider requirements and reimbursement decisions remain controlled by the policy and insurer.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions about payment & insurance
What is Peacemaker's hourly rate?
Pricing depends on the requested schedule and support. Ask for a quote that explains the hours, included services and terms before you agree to care.
Does Medicare pay for this service?
Do not assume coverage. Peacemaker provides non-medical home care, and any payer decision depends on the applicable program or policy. Confirm directly with the payer.
Will Peacemaker guarantee reimbursement?
No. Insurers and benefit programs control coverage, eligibility, authorization and reimbursement.
