REMMSCO, Inc. does not accept private insurance payments. We are funded through a combination of North Carolina state block grants and resident fee payments. Medicaid and Medicare coverage for personal medical costs are allowed.

If the resident has an income such as disability payments, social security, or other income, an administrative fee of 50% of any net income for up to $500 a month maximum will be charged.
3. All residents apply for Food and Nutrition Services (Food Stamps) with the help of REMMSCO staff after admission. Any benefits are pooled to help pay for the total food and nutrition cost of each house.
