HAP lists home-based palliative care and a Hospital at Home option for eligible commercial, ASO and Medicare Advantage members.
HAP lists two home-based services: palliative care for serious illness and Hospital at Home as an alternative to a hospital stay. Both are described for eligible members.
What the program is and what members do.
What the program is
HAP describes palliative care as an extra layer of support for eligible members with a serious illness, aimed at comfort, symptom management and quality of life through home-based care. HAP describes Hospital at Home as an alternative to a traditional hospital or skilled nursing facility stay.
How members use it
For palliative care, HAP gives a phone number and an email address. The page does not say how a member enters Hospital at Home. HAP says the Hospital at Home team can include physicians, nurses, social workers and laboratory professionals.
What it covers or does not
The page describes care delivered at home. It does not give clinical criteria, length of stay, or cost, and it does not say which conditions qualify.
Eligibility, funding and plan design.
Who can use it
HAP lists Medicare Advantage, Commercial and ASO HFH for palliative care. For Hospital at Home it lists ASO HFH, fully insured commercial and Medicare Advantage members. Both say eligible members, so criteria apply.
How it is funded or sold
The page gives no fee, rider or cost share. Ask HAP how these services are paid for under the group’s contract and whether a member copay applies.
Where it fits in plan design
These services sit alongside inpatient benefits and care management. They matter for employers who want to understand options for employees or dependents with serious illness, and they raise questions about how claims are paid.
What to settle before relying on it.
What makes a member eligible?
HAP says eligible members. We would ask for the clinical and geographic criteria, because a program available only in part of Michigan may not reach our employees.
How is the cost handled?
The page is silent on cost. We would ask whether Hospital at Home is paid as an inpatient stay or a separate benefit, and whether the member cost share is the same.
Is our group included?
The page lists commercial and ASO HFH. We would ask HAP to confirm in writing that our group has access.
