MEDICARE AND INSURANCE

Does Insurance cover Christian Science Nursing?

Some companies do provide coverage for Christian Science nursing treatment or nursing care. These companies have individual policies that can be attached to one's insurance package. Individuals should contact their insurance agent to find out if their company specifically offers this type of coverage.

Is Medicare Coverage Available?

Arden Wood began accepting Medicare for eligible patients for Christian Science nursing services in July 2004. Information helpful to Christian Scientists considering use of Medicare for reimbursement of Christian Science nursing care is available upon request online or from Arden Wood's business office.

If you would like to read or print a copy of the booklet Arden Wood has published entitled "Medicare and Its Provision for 'Religious Nonmedical Health Care' for Christian Scientists" (in Adobe PDF format) please use this link: Medicare for Christian Scientists. If you are unable to read or print this document and would like a copy, please call or write to Arden Wood and we will print and mail you one.

We are pleased to continue offering financial assistance to those who may not qualify for Medicare and who may not have any other means of paying for Christian Science nursing. Contributions to our Financial Assistance Fund are greatly appreciated, as these gifts ensure everyone receives needed care regardless of ability to pay.
