What Qualifies a Patient for Home Health Care? Patients who have been recently discharged from the hospital, are having falls/functional declines, recent surgery, wounds not healing correctly and more.
Who Can Refer a Patient for Home Health Care? Patients can refer themself as well as family members, friends, hospital personnel and healthcare providers. Home health care services have to be authorized by a primary care physician, nurse practitioner or a physician assistant.
Who Pays for Home Health Care? Home health care is a benefit under Medicare Part A with no copay or deductible required. Not all but some insurance companies will pay 80 to 100% (if authorized by your payor source). If you have private insurance (Ex: BlueCross BlueShield) you most likely will require preauthorization and will need to check with your desired home health agency if they are in network with your insurance.
