You can call before the paperwork is complete

A physician or other qualified practitioner must order covered home health and support the required eligibility documentation. Our team reviews the home address, ordered services, coverage, current needs, and staffing before confirming acceptance.

You do not have to wait to ask a question. We can explain what is usually needed, and we'll call you back the next business day.
