What Is Moda Health and What Does It Cover?
Moda Health is an independent, member-owned health insurance company headquartered in Portland, Oregon. It is not affiliated with Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, or any other large national carrier. Moda Health operates as a regional insurer offering individual, family, and employer-sponsored plans. Some employers in the SW Fort Worth and Burleson area include Moda Health as part of their employee benefits package.
Moda Health is not connected to Aetna in any way. It does not share a claims system, provider network, or ownership structure with Aetna. If your insurance card says Moda Health, your benefits and network are governed solely by Moda Health — not any affiliated or parent company.
Depending on your specific plan, Moda Health may function as either an HMO or a PPO. HMO plans typically require you to stay in-network and may require referrals from a primary care physician. PPO plans offer more flexibility to use out-of-network providers, usually at a higher cost-share. Log in to your Moda Health member dashboard or call the member services number on your insurance card to confirm your plan type and which home health agencies are in-network in the Burleson and SW Fort Worth area.
Most Moda Health plans cover medically necessary skilled home health services when a licensed physician orders the care. Coverage typically includes a defined number of visits per benefit period, subject to your plan's deductible and copayment requirements. Covered services under Moda Health home health benefits typically include:
- Skilled nursing visits by a Registered Nurse
- Physical, occupational, and speech therapy at home
- Wound care and complex dressing changes
- Medication management and administration
- IV therapy and specialty infusion services
- Feeding tube management and care
- In-home lab draws and blood work
- Personal care by a Certified Nursing Assistant when paired with skilled services
Coverage details — including prior authorization requirements, deductibles, and visit limits — vary by plan. BrightStar Care of Burleson verifies your Moda Health benefits as part of our intake process at no cost to you. We confirm what is covered before care begins so there are no surprises.

Who Qualifies for Home Health Care in Texas Under Moda Health?
In Texas, patients generally qualify for covered home health care under Moda Health when all of the following conditions are met:
- A licensed physician has ordered home health services
- The care is considered medically necessary
- The patient is homebound or leaving home requires considerable effort
- Services are delivered by a licensed, accredited home health agency
Common qualifying situations include recovery after surgery or a hospital stay. Many families in Joshua Farms and Rendon contact us after a discharge from Huguley Medical Center or Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Southwest. Their physicians recommend continued skilled care at home rather than a stay at a skilled nursing facility like Burleson Nursing & Rehabilitation Center or Advanced Rehabilitation & Healthcare of Burleson.
Qualifying conditions also include ongoing management of chronic illnesses such as congestive heart failure, COPD, diabetes, Parkinson's disease, stroke-related impairments, and dementia. If your loved one was recently treated at Baylor Scott & White Medical Center Hillcrest or AdventHealth Burleson, our team can coordinate directly with the discharging physician and case manager to get home care started quickly.
Moda Health home health care in SW Fort Worth/Burleson, TX is available for patients of all ages — including pediatric patients who require skilled nursing at home.

Home Health Care Services Available in SW Fort Worth and Burleson

Our care is led by a Registered Nurse Director of Nursing who develops and oversees every care plan. Skilled nurses, CNAs, and home health aides follow clinician-directed plans — giving families confidence that care is coordinated and clinically accountable.
We serve patients throughout SW Fort Worth and surrounding communities, including Hidden Creek, Summer Creek, Briar Meadow, Joshua Farms, and Rendon. Our team is familiar with discharge processes at area facilities including Lake Granbury Medical Center for families located further west in our service area.
Skilled Nursing Services
Our Registered Nurses provide skilled clinical care in the home. This includes wound care and wound VAC management, IV therapy and specialty infusions, in-home lab draws, feeding tube management, ostomy care, and medication management. These are the same clinical services typically provided in a facility — delivered in the comfort and safety of home. Our care is led by a Registered Nurse Director of Nursing who oversees all care plans, with CNAs and HHAs following the clinically directed plan of care.
Therapy Services
Physical, occupational, and speech therapists work with patients recovering from strokes, joint replacements, falls, and neurological conditions. Therapy at home allows patients to practice skills in their actual living environment. This leads to better functional outcomes than facility-based therapy alone. Patients transitioning from Texas Health Neighborhood Care & Wellness Burleson or from post-acute care at Advanced Rehabilitation & Healthcare of Burleson often benefit from continued therapy at home under a coordinated plan.
Personal Care and Companion Services
CNAs and home health aides assist with bathing, grooming, dressing, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and transportation. Personal care can be paired with skilled nursing visits under Moda Health authorization, or scheduled independently for ongoing support. This combination of skilled and non-skilled services allows families to find the right level of care for their loved one without overpaying for services they do not need.
Pediatric Nursing
We provide skilled pediatric nursing for children and young adults who require clinical care at home. Our RNs and pediatric-trained aides support families across Burleson, Summer Creek, and the broader SW Fort Worth area. Pediatric home nursing is often covered under Moda Health when medically ordered and supported by clinical documentation.
24-Hour and Live-In Care
For patients who need continuous support, we offer 24-hour and live-in care options. This is often a more appropriate — and more affordable — alternative to assisted living facilities. Families near Heritage Place assisted living in Burleson's Garden Acres neighborhood or Fleurdleys Assisted Living in Rendon sometimes choose home care instead to keep their loved one in familiar surroundings. We also serve patients near Senior Care of Crowley and Allegiant Wellness and Rehab in Crowley, and Pecan Manor Nursing and Rehabilitation in Kennedale — coordinating with these facilities when patients transition to home-based care.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Moda an HMO or PPO?
Moda Health offers both HMO and PPO plan options, depending on your employer group or individual plan design. HMO plans typically require you to use in-network providers and may require referrals from a primary care physician before seeing a specialist. PPO plans allow more flexibility to use out-of-network providers, usually at a higher cost-share. Log in to your Moda Health member dashboard or call the member services number on your insurance card to confirm which plan type you have and which home health agencies are in-network in the SW Fort Worth and Burleson area.
What is another name for Moda insurance?
Moda Health was formerly known as ODS Health Plans. The company rebranded to Moda Health in 2013. Some older plan documents or provider systems may still reference ODS. If you see ODS on any benefits paperwork, it refers to the same company now operating as Moda Health. The plan is independent and is not related to any other national carrier by any other name.
Is Moda Health connected to Aetna?
No. Moda Health is not connected to, owned by, or affiliated with Aetna in any way. Moda Health is an independent, member-owned health plan. It does not share a network, claims platform, or ownership structure with Aetna. If your insurance card says Moda Health, your benefits and provider network are governed entirely by Moda Health — not Aetna or any other carrier.
Is BrightStar Care a good company for home health care in Burleson?

Who qualifies for home health care in Texas under Moda Health?
In Texas, a patient qualifies for covered home health care when a physician orders the services, the care is medically necessary, and the patient has difficulty leaving home without considerable effort. Common qualifying conditions include post-surgical recovery, stroke, congestive heart failure, COPD, Parkinson's disease, dementia, and diabetes-related complications. The specific qualifying criteria also depend on your Moda Health plan — coverage terms define what documentation is required to approve home health services in SW Fort Worth and Burleson.
Does Moda Health cover home care after a hospital stay in Fort Worth?
Many Moda Health plans cover skilled home health care following a hospitalization when a physician orders continued care and the patient meets medical necessity criteria. Patients discharged from Huguley Medical Center, Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Southwest, AdventHealth Burleson, or Baylor Scott & White Medical Center Hillcrest may be eligible for covered home health services during recovery. Our team works directly with hospital case managers and discharging physicians to coordinate a smooth transition home for patients across the Burleson and SW Fort Worth area.
Is long-term care insurance different from Moda Health home care coverage?
Yes. Long-term care insurance is a separate policy purchased specifically to cover extended care needs — including home care, assisted living, and memory care — that health insurance does not typically cover. Moda Health, as a medical insurance plan, generally covers skilled home health care that is medically necessary and time-limited. Long-term care insurance can supplement that coverage by paying for ongoing personal care, companion care, and custodial services that health plans exclude. BrightStar Care of Burleson accepts most long-term care insurance plans in addition to Moda Health.
How quickly can home care start in Burleson after Moda Health approval?
Once prior authorization is received from Moda Health and the physician order is in place, BrightStar Care of Burleson can typically complete an in-home RN assessment and begin care within 24–48 hours. We serve all of Burleson, SW Fort Worth, Rendon, Joshua Farms, Hidden Creek, and the surrounding communities — so response time is fast.
