Most of the time, these services will be provided through a Medicaid exemption offered by your state, but they may be offered through other state Medicaid plan options. To get paid to care for your loved one, some states may require that you become a certified Medicaid provider or meet other state requirements. The person receiving health care must meet income requirements and other eligibility requirements established by the state. For more information, contact Applied Self Direction. This organization maintains a list of state self-direction programs.
You can also contact your state's director of Medicaid. We pay caregivers through state Medicaid programs to help cover part of the costs of providing full-time care. Entyre Care is a structured family care (SFC) provider that helps family caregivers access compensation, support and resources that they need. In Georgia, a spouse is generally not eligible for caregiver payment in family caregiver programs.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has approved several states to offer structured family care, where family caregivers can be paid and receive additional supports. Veterans and their caregivers may be eligible for the Comprehensive Assistance Program for Family Caregivers.
