Who pays for home health services?
Home health services can be provided in a variety of ways. Home health care is covered under many private insurance plans. In addition, home health is a covered Medicare and Medicaid Benefit.
Who takes care of arranging home health services?
Many times it is a social worker or discharge planner at a hospital, doctor's office, or a staff member at an independent or assisted living facility. However, anyone can initiate home health services.
What is telemonitoring?
Telemonitoring is a new service that is provided by PRN through the use of the Honeywell HomMed® FDA approved Class II, hospital grade, medical device. The device walks the patient through a short procedure to collect their vital signs on a daily basis. That information is then transmitted to our office and evaluated by a clinical staff member. The telemonitor is being used hand in hand with our nursing and therapy visits to provide more proactive and preventative care. There is no charge to the patient or Medicare for this service while receiving home health services.
What is Anodyne® Therapy?
Anodyne® emits monochromatic infrared photo energy to increase local circulation and reduce pain. The therapy is good for patients with neuropathy, wounds, pain, and any other condition that can be improved with the help of increased circulation.
Who can benefit from hospice services?
Hospice is a special kind of care designed to provide sensitivity and support for people in the final phase of a terminal illness. Hospice Care seeks to enable patients to carry on an alert, pain-free life and to manage other symptoms so that their last days may be spent with dignity and quality at home or in a home-like setting.
Who pays for Hospice services?
Studies have shown hospice care to be no more costly, and frequently less expensive, than conventional care during the last six months of life. This is because less high-cost technology is used, and family, friends, and volunteers provide much of the day-to-day patient care at home.
Hospice care is covered under most private insurance plans. In addition, hospice is a covered Medicare/Medicaid Benefit.
