Home care is a very beneficial option, because it allows patients to stay in their home, where they are most comfortable. If you have been diagnosed with a new disease, are managing a long-term illness or recovering from an accident, illness or surgery, you may be able to receive home health care as part of your insurance benefit. Call our office or ask your doctor to request our services. If you are in the hospital, the discharge planner can make a request for you. We can bill most insurance plans. Medicare and Medicaid will pay 100% of most home health services.
