How It Works
Step 1 — Opening a Claim and Determining Your Benefits
When you call our Pitman office, we help you initiate a claim with your insurance company and secure your claim number. From there, we work with your insurer to determine exactly what your policy covers — your daily benefit amount, elimination period, eligible services, and what documentation is required to get started. Families in Washington Township and Sewell often find this step goes much faster than expected once we take on the coordination.
Step 2 — Assignment of Benefits or Direct Payment to You
After your benefits are confirmed, you choose how payment flows. With assignment of benefits, your insurance company pays Comfort Keepers of Pitman directly — you are never out of pocket and there is no reimbursement process to manage on your end. If you prefer, your insurer can pay you directly and you pay us from those funds. We explain both options clearly and support whichever you choose. All claims filing, ongoing documentation, and reauthorizations are handled by our team throughout your care arrangement.
Step 3 — Care Begins in Gloucester County
In most cases, care can begin in your home while the claim is still being reviewed — there is no waiting period that leaves your loved one without support. Our caregivers serve Pitman, Washington Township, Glassboro, Sewell, Mantua, Mullica Hill, and surrounding Gloucester County communities. For families whose loved one is transitioning home from Jefferson Washington Township Hospital or Inspira Medical Center, we coordinate care to start as soon as they walk through the front door.
Why Gloucester County Families Choose Comfort Keepers
Gloucester County has a strong sense of place, and the families we serve here — particularly in Pitman, Washington Township, and Mullica Hill — consistently tell us that keeping a parent or spouse at home, in a neighborhood they know, is the most important thing to them. Assisted living is not the right answer for every family, and for many, in-home care can be a better fit both personally and practically.
Comfort Keepers of Pitman has built relationships across Gloucester County with families, physicians, and care teams at local hospitals and rehabilitation facilities. We take caregiver matching seriously because the right fit makes a meaningful difference — and the families who stay with us longest are the ones where that match was made carefully from the start.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Comfort Keepers Pitman handle assignment of benefits?
Yes. If you prefer, we set up assignment of benefits so your insurer pays Comfort Keepers of Pitman directly — you are not billed and do not manage reimbursement. Alternatively, your insurer can pay you directly. We walk you through both options during your benefits verification and support whichever you choose.
Do you serve Washington Township and Sewell?
Yes. We serve Pitman, Washington Township, Sewell, Glassboro, Mantua, Mullica Hill, and communities throughout Gloucester County. Call us to confirm coverage at a specific address.
What does the insurance company require to approve a claim?
Requirements vary by carrier, but most long-term care insurance companies arrange for a nurse to visit the home and conduct a needs assessment. Every insurance company handles this process differently, and some may also request supporting documentation from a physician. In most cases, your loved one will need to demonstrate difficulty with at least two activities of daily living — such as bathing, dressing, transferring, or managing medications. We will help you understand what your specific carrier requires and guide you through the process step by step.
Can care start the same week we call?
In many cases, yes. If the situation is urgent — particularly following a hospitalization or a rapid change in your loved one's condition — call us right away and we will move as quickly as possible to get care in place.
Is in-home care only for people with serious medical needs?
Not at all. Many of our Gloucester County clients began with companionship, help with meals, or light housekeeping — and found that consistent, reliable support made an enormous difference in their daily life. Long-term care insurance often covers this level of care, not only hands-on medical assistance.
