In the state of Nebraska, the growing need for senior care has led to the development of various programs and initiatives to support family caregivers. Caretech is proud to participate in the Nebraska Medicaid Waiver programs. We also accept private pay, long-term care insurance and VA Benefits.
Recognizing the invaluable role these caregivers play, the state offers multiple avenues for them to receive compensation for their efforts. From Medicaid waivers to specialized programs, Nebraska ensures that those dedicating their time and energy to care for their elderly loved ones have access to financial support and resources.
Medicaid in Nebraska pays family caregivers through Medicaid Waivers. These are exceptions to Medicaid rules that allow states to offer programs that don’t fit within the traditional boundaries of Medicaid. Every state, including Nebraska, has at least one waiver in place to allow the payment of family caregivers. Source
