Home healthcare is skilled nursing care and other healthcare services you receive in your home for the treatment of an illness or injury. There are two types of home care:
While in the hospital, a discharge planner from the Care Coordination department will meet with you and your family to discuss what types of care will be needed for you following discharge. Careful attention is given to assisting, planning and managing a quality home healthcare program. All home healthcare plans are under the direction of the patient's physician, who is involved in all aspects of the care and works closely with the staff.
To qualify for home healthcare coverage, a patient must meet the criteria established by their insurance carrier. Some insurance providers also require that patients use a home care agency that is approved as a “network” or “contracted” provider. Patients should contact their insurance provider to obtain coverage and network provider information.
If you are a Medicare beneficiary, call 1-800-MEDICARE or visit Medicare.gov to obtain covered benefit information.
