Are nurses employees of TLC Nurse Solutions?
No. Nurses providing services through the TLC Nurse Solutions registry are independent professionals, not employees of TLC.
Independent nurses maintain their applicable professional licenses and credentials, determine which assignments they wish to accept, and exercise professional clinical judgment within their qualifications and authorized scope of practice.
TLC coordinates the administrative aspects of nursing arrangements through the registry.
Is private duty nursing covered by insurance or Medicare?
TLC Nurse Solutions coordinates private-pay nursing support throughout California.
TLC invoices clients and healthcare partners directly and receives payments directly for nursing services coordinated through our registry. TLC does not bill Medicare, Medi-Cal, or private health insurance plans or submit insurance claims on behalf of clients.
Depending on their circumstances, clients may explore long-term care insurance benefits, workers’ compensation arrangements, or other potential reimbursement resources directly with the appropriate insurer, administrator, or responsible organization.
Coverage and reimbursement depend on the applicable policy or arrangement. TLC can provide available invoices and supporting administrative documentation when appropriate.
