Who is eligible for home healthcare services?
Home healthcare provides professional medical services to individuals who face challenges leaving their homes for traditional outpatient care. Eligibility for our services depends on several factors:
Physician's Order Required
All patients must have a doctor's order prescribing home healthcare services. Your physician determines that home-based care is medically necessary for your condition.
Homebound Status
Generally, patients must be considered "homebound," meaning leaving home requires considerable effort and assistance, or is medically contraindicated due to their condition.
Medical Necessity
Services are appropriate for both short-term recovery needs (such as after hospitalization) and long-term management of chronic conditions that require skilled medical attention.
