FAQ
Is this considered home health?
No. Community integrated health is not the same as home health. While services may be provided in the home, community health workers focus on connecting individuals to resources, supporting care coordination, and addressing social needs. This work can complement home health services but does not replace it.
What does a Community Health Worker do in this program?
Community Health Workers help individuals navigate the healthcare system, access social services, manage chronic conditions, overcome barriers such as transportation, food insecurity, and language access.
Who qualifies for community integrated health?
Typically, individuals with chronic health conditions, frequent hospital visits, or unmet social needs may qualify. Eligibility may vary by program and health provider.
Where do services take place?
Servies can be provided in the home, over the phone, in community settings, or wherever the client feels most comfortable.
How is this different than case management?
While both roles support individuals, Community Health Workers often have lived experience in the communities they serve and focus more on building trust, advocacy, and addressing social determinants of health.
Does it cost anything?
Community integrated health services are often covered by Medicare and are usually offered at no cost to the client.
How do Community Health Workers work with my Provider?
Community Health Workers collaborate with Providers, nurses, and case managers to ensure clients follow care plans, attend appointments, and get support for non-medical needs that affect health.
What kind of support can I expect?
Support may include help with scheduling appointments, finding housing or food resources, understanding medications, or setting health goals.
