- What Is Home Health?
The Home Health benefit is a federally funded program to provide Nursing, Rehab, Social Work and Aide services in the home setting where patients may find it difficult to leave the home. Home Health is not hospice - home health is meant to be used for a period of time until the patient recovers from their acute condition.
- Who Qualifies for Home Health?
Typically, insurance will pay for home health coverage for individuals who find it taxing to leave home. Home Health is not a long-term solution, rather, it's meant to be used to help restore a patients prior functioning status.
- Who Pays for Home Health?
Medicare, Medicaid and most Medicare Advantage plans pay 100% of the cost for services. Other insurance companies may vary - Call Us to find out what your benefits offer!
- What can we expect when services start?
Usually, once we receive the order from the patient's Primary Care Physician, services will start with 24 hours. The first evaluation visit typically takes longer so that we can gather a complete medical history and develop a Plan of Care. Our nurse will coordinate the best time and will gather information to keep concerned family members up-to-date regarding progress.
- How often will I or my loved one be visited?
Visit frequency will vary based on need. Initially, you may see your nurse 2-3 times a week and your therapist 2-3 times a week. As your condition improves, our nurses and therapists typically reduce their visit frequency.
