In a message dated 8/14/2005 8:06:17 P.M. Central Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] my Mine only out to do bloodwork and about sores to look at, but not care for.  I normally go to the wound care Center, because the regular nurse don't seem to know that much, sometimes applies dressing..  Dressing and personal-care are all called custodial care.  When I had IVs they only came out to show my aid how to do.  I know all are different.  It seems crazy but they don't cover any care but most don't, I don't think.  My stepmom get the array of insurance plans to choose from through the state and then carry actual care.  I would be very interested to know what plans do or others which insurance companies do.

My insurance covers home care for nursing needs, but not just to get dressed and into a wheelchair. But I wonder if they come out to cath or something, if they will get me dressed and up while they are here. I'm trying to get weekend care, but can't do my bowel care and change my SP cach twice a day. Any ideas on things I might be able to say I need "Home Care" for?   thx, Greg
