Home › Family Caregiver Program › Pay Path
Pennsylvania Community HealthChoices pays family caregivers through an agency. A-Team handles enrollment, hiring, and payroll. See the full Family Caregiver Program.
THE PAY PATH
A-Team walks the whole path with you.
We check that your loved one qualifies for Community HealthChoices and that you can be the paid caregiver.
We help enroll your loved one and choose the self-directed option that lets family provide the care.
We bring you on as the paid caregiver, complete the paperwork, and run the background check.
A short orientation gets you set up. We handle the payroll and scheduling paperwork.
WHAT AFFECTS YOUR PAY
Your specific amount is set by the plan and confirmed on your call.
The Community HealthChoices plan approves a number of care hours per week based on your loved one needs.
Hands-on personal care and overnight needs can change the hours and rate the plan approves.
Keystone First, UPMC, and PA Health and Wellness each set their own pay schedules. A-Team is in-network with all three.
Regular weekly hours give a steady paycheck. A-Team runs payroll on a set schedule once you are onboarded.
