See how care starts- 01
Start the conversation
A patient, family member, clinician, hospital, or case manager contacts intake.
- 02
Review the need
The team reviews the referral, clinical needs, documentation, and eligibility information.
- 03
Coordinate the plan
Care is organized with the ordering clinician and the patient’s plan of care.
- 04
Begin home visits
Appropriate clinicians provide authorized services and track progress at home.
Medicare & eligibility
Rules can feel complicated. The explanation should not.
Eligibility generally depends on a qualifying skilled need, homebound status, provider orders, a plan of care, and other Medicare requirements. Coverage decisions are individualized.
Focused clinical capability
Wound care needs consistency.
Home wound care may include ordered dressing changes, assessment, caregiver education, infection-prevention teaching, and timely communication when a wound changes.
