Do I get to have patient choice on which home health agency or company I use?
Did you know you ultimately are the Absolute Decision Maker on who you want to use for therapy and nursing services through home health? While you need to utilize a Medicare Certified Agency to have Medicare and other Payors to pay for services, you have the right to use any home health agency that you want regardless of who currently services the assisted living, hospital or senior independent facility
Do all Home Health Agencies only use Registered Nurses and Therapists not assistants?
No, most companies use a combination of RN’s and LPN’s and both Therapists and their assistants for patients. We feel the investment in the highest level of education and licensure benefits our clients as many seniors have medically complex issues with multiple medications and a long list for their past medical history.
