Frequently Asked Questions About Intensive In-Home ServicesDoes everyone in the family need to be covered under Medical Assistance in order to make a referral?No, only the identified youth who is considered severely emotional disturbed needs to have MA coverage. What if a family has private insurance? Do they still qualify for In-Home services? Some private insurance will cover some In-Home services depending on who the insurance carrier is. However, the family will probably need Medical Assistance as a back up insurance to cover all services provided. It is best to call our staff who can then help you determine insurance coverage. What if a family needs In-Home but does not have any MA and their insurance will not cover? You can still make a referral to the program provided that the county of residence is willing to contract for the service or the family is willing to pay privately for services. How much does In-Home cost? If the family has insurance it may not cost the family or the county any out-of-pocket money. If there is no insurance coverage, our hourly rates are $68.00 for the first master's level therapist and $28.00 for the second team member. Who can make a referral to the program? Just about anyone can make a referral. It can be the family, school, staff, county social worker or other outpatient providers. How long can In-Home services last? Medical Assistance rules allow for one year of service with one 3 month extension for extenuating circumstances. Hopefully, by the end of one year families are ready to move on to less intensive services such as outpatient therapy. Our staff will help to refer families to these services. Should a family still need intensive services beyond the one year point another funding source would need to be secured. Why does a child need a HealthCheck screen, even if they have seen a doctor recently? Medical Assistance requires that the child have a specific physical, hence the need for a health screening. It is important to make sure that the child is not suffering from a physical ailment which may be contributing to their acting out behaviors. Which counties in Southern Wisconsin do you service?
