ADMISSIONS
In-home skilled medical services are typically prescribed by your physician and pre-authorized through your health insurance provider. For patients without insurance coverage, we can provide a self-pay schedule. Upon family consent, our care coordinator will meet the family, schedule a patient and home assessment, and develop a customized plan of care. Our admission office will contact the patient's insurance provider if relevant, to secure approval, and answer any queries you might have. Self-pay patients can contact us directly for an appointment or request a quote for their care needs.
