HealthTeam Advantage Custodial Care Benefit

Custodial Care

Personal, professional, non-medical care when you need it most.

Our Custodial Care Benefit

Sometimes after a hospital stay or an outpatient procedure, you might need extra help with basic everyday tasks. We call that help custodial care, or non-medical care performed by professional caregivers. It includes help with everyday tasks such as:

  • eating, dressing, and bathing
  • cooking, running errands, and laundry
  • lifting and carrying items

Although custodial care is not covered by Original Medicare, we think it’s important to help you get back on your feet after surgery or other qualifying procedures.

Highlights:

  • Benefit includes non-medical care (self-care tasks, household chores, and mobility tasks) performed by professional caregivers.
  • Covers up to 20 hours of care after a hospital stay or qualifying outpatient procedure, for a maximum of 60 hours per year, at no cost to members.
