Frequently asked questions
Understanding home health care
Patients need to be under the care of a doctor,
and the home health plan is coordinated with that physician with approval from Medicare/Medicaid.
For qualifying traditional Medicare beneficiaries, approved home health
services may be covered when Medicare’s homebound and skilled-need requirements are met.
Call insurance provider for eligibility and current coverage details.
The schedule varies by patient and physician-approved plan and coverage from insurance service provider.
For individuals receiving services through a Medicaid waiver program, the number of approved service hours is determined by the individual's needs assessment and authorized service plan. Madison Home Health Services provides services based on the hours and service authorized by the waiver or service plan.
Prior authorization may be required by your Ohio Medicaid Managed Care Plan or other insurance plan before certain Home Health Services can begin. Authorization requirements vary based on your insurance coverage, the type of service, and medical necessity. Our team can help verify your coverage and coordinate the authorization process when needed.
No. Services must be provided according to the approved plan of care or authorized service plan. If additional hours are needed, the client or authorized representative should contact the appropriate waiver service coordinator or insurance plan to request a reassessment or review.
