About Insurance & Medicaid

Below is helpful information that may help you cover the cost of AngelSense. 

First, a few important points to consider:

• Medicaid state insurance plans typically do not cover AngelSense.
• In many states, AngelSense has been covered for eligible participants through Medicaid HCBS waivers. But, the recipient must go through any necessary evaluations or steps before adding services to their individual service plan. Please have your caseworker contact us to see if AngelSense must first become a vendor, for services to be provided.
• Some private insurance companies have covered AngelSense as an out-of-network service or have approved customer reimbursement for our service, but this is largely determined on a case by case basis. AngelSense does not directly bill any type of insurance.

* The above information is based on feedback from our existing customers and meant to assist families in their search for possible funding sources. 

AngelSense cannot guarantee approval for any of the abovementioned programs. 

When looking for funding sources, it might be helpful to prepare the following information in advance:
