I've been a privater caregiver for almost 13 years and I'm sure some of my patients have signed up for LTC. But to take a copy of my drivers license is a first.

reneelewis1564, welcome to the forum. I suggest calling the insurance company itself. Do not use the telephone number given to you, but Google to find their telephone number, that way you know you will be talking to someone legit.

When my brother was considering having Visiting Angels we asked if they could provide transit to MD appointments, shopping and etc. And were told that this "could be arranged" but that this required notification ahead of time as further vetting was done on their caregivers if they were allowed to drive clients.

If you are hesitant to give your license I am uncertain why? They are impossible to duplicate I think. However, if you don't wish to give it you can say you aren't a driver and don't have a license. You would then be required to provide an ID. I don't drive anymore so my identification is now a California Senior ID card. Looks like a license. Isn't one.

Do know as well, if your pt. is on LTC insurance payment, that may be a stipulation of the policy for the patient's safety if you are driving them anywhere.

If Client is going to use a LTC insurance they paid for to pay you, then yes the Insurance Company may need your license for a background check.

She can't sign up now for Longterm insurance, you buy that when you are younger. She can sign up for in home Medicaid? Is that how your going to be paid, thru Medicaid? Then ur license may be needed.

If its LTC Medicaid, that means she will be going into a Nursing home. I see no reason for the need of your license if she is going into care. Your employment will stop.
