Good to know
Questions, answered
Who pays for home health?
Medicare covers home health in full for patients who are homebound and need part-time skilled nursing or therapy under a doctor's plan of care. Most Medicare Advantage plans and Texas Medicaid also cover it.
Why sixty days?
Medicare home health plans of care run in sixty-day periods. Many patients finish sooner. If you still qualify at day sixty, your doctor can renew the plan.
What does homebound mean?
Leaving home takes considerable and taxing effort, or needs help, a device or a ride. Church, the doctor and the barber are still allowed.
How soon can care begin?
Usually within 48 hours of the referral, often the day after you get home.
What areas do you serve?
Cooke, Montague, Grayson and north Denton counties, including Gainesville, Muenster, Lindsay, Valley View, Whitesboro, Saint Jo and Sanger.
Let's write a good ending.
