Hi, it’s Patrik Hutzel from intensivecareathome.com, where we provide tailor-made solutions for long-term ventilated adults and children with tracheostomies at home, and where we also provide tailor-made solutions for hospitals and intensive care units whilst providing quality services for long-term ventilated adults and children with tracheostomies, medically complex patients including Home TPN (total parenteral nutrition), IV potassium infusions, Home BIPAP (bilevel positive airway pressure), CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) as well as tracheostomy care at home.

Now, in today’s blog, I want to answer another question from Jessica who asks, “Can my husband who has a tracheostomy receive care from home? He’s been stuck in hospital for months. What is covered by his insurance or what other options do we have? We are in Melbourne, Australia.”

So, here is how we can help your husband, Jessica. So, if he’s stuck in hospital with a tracheostomy, of course, he can’t go home because there are no services at home or no professional services at home that can look after him besides Intensive Care at Home because we bring the intensive care into the home with critical care nurses with a minimum of two years critical care nursing experience, which is what is required as per evidence-based Mechanical Home Ventilation Guidelines, which you can look up on our website at intensivecareathome.com. So, it’s got to be safe when your husband can go home with 24-hour nursing care and we can make that safe for you.

So, how is he covered? Well, if he’s got private health insurance, his private health insurance may cover it or if your husband is less than 65 years old, the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) will cover it right for nursing care, 24 hours a day.

Now, he may have also other insurance. I am not sure. I don’t know how the situation. Maybe it was a work accident or a car accident, God forbid, or he’s a DVA veteran, then it is often covered by those funding bodies as well. So, you should definitely reach out to us so that we can help you with the necessary case management or NDIS Support Coordination which we’re offering as well. We have our own NDIS Level 2 and Level 3 Support Coordinator that can help you with the NDIS application and the relevant funding.

So, it’s quite simple, 24-hour nursing care at home for your hospital so you can finally leave hospital and go home with our service Intensive Care at Home. It’s bread and butter for us. We’ve done it so many times, helped with the funding. Please contact us if you need any help there by either calling me on 041-094-2230 if you are in Australia. That’s again, 041-094-2230 if you’re in Australia or send me an email to info@intensivecareathome.com.

There’s also information on our website for the NDIS, how to go about it. But if you contact me, then I can set you up with our NDIS Support Coordinator as well and help you with the funding.

We can also negotiate with the hospital. The hospital might have an interest in getting your husband home because it’s costing them a lot of money by having a patient in hospital for long periods of time. As a matter of fact, it’s costing them a fortune and they can’t use the bed that is needed for other patients in hospital. So, I hope that helps.
