What to ask when you call or visit
A general checklist for any home health agency, not advice about this one. Medicare also publishes guides on medicare.gov.
- Is the agency certified by Medicare, and does it serve your ZIP code?
- Does it offer the services your doctor ordered (nursing, physical, occupational or speech therapy, aide visits)?
- How soon can the first visit happen, and how often will staff come?
- Who do you call at night or on weekends if there is a problem?
- Will the same nurse or therapist usually come? How do they share updates with your doctor?
- Are staff licensed, background-checked and trained for your condition? Do any speak your language?
- What will Medicare, Medicaid or your insurance pay, and what might you pay? Ask for it in writing.
