Many nursing services providing direct care have a service fee.A sliding fee scale is used to determine what percentage of the fee the client will pay on the basis of the client's financial assets.If the client has a third-party payer,such as Medicare,Medicaid,or private insurance,some departments will bill that source or provide the client with a receipt to file for reimbursement.Legislative appropriations and state health agencies may pay for programming at the local level;however,most of these funds are not used for direct care services.
