How can I determine if a patient has had Home Health services or if he/she is still under the Home Health Agency?
Of course, the first line of establishing home health status is by questioning the patient or responsible party, but unfortunately these individuals don’t often understand the full scope of home health and often state that they haven’t ever or are not now participating in any home health. For starters you might ask if his/her physician asked any one to come to his/her home to help or treat you in any way.
