Typical Cost
$30–$75/hour; $300–$600/day (private duty)
Details
Nursing services provided by a registered nurse (RN), licensed practical nurse (LPN), or other licensed nursing professional are qualified medical expenses. This includes private duty nursing, visiting nurse services, IV therapy, wound care, medication administration, and post-surgical nursing care. The services must be medical in nature — a nurse providing companionship or housekeeping doesn't qualify for those non-medical tasks.
