As of February, 2003 CHS Home Support Services has announced that it has signed a contract with Group Health Incorporated (GHI) to become one of it’s preferred providers.

“GHI is a statewide not-for-profit health insurer serving New Yorkers since 1937. GHI and its subsidiary GHI HMO provide health insurance and administrative services to more than 2.5 million individuals. GHI offers customers a variety of medical, hospital, dental, prescription drug, vision, and managed mental health coverage options, as well as administrative-services-only arrangements. GHI products offer access to the largest panel of participating providers in New York State, including over 15,000 primary physicians and more than 31,000 specialists.”   from the GHI web site.

Part of the services offered to referral sources of CHS Home Support Services is that we will verify the status and coverage of all potential patients being referred to our service.  Our knowledgeable and courteous customer service representatives, upon receiving a referral, will obtain the required information to check the coverage with the insurance carrier.  All information is reported back to the appropriate person (referral source or patient) so decisions can be made regarding beginning services.
