Medicare Home Health
Occupational Therapy for the everyday rebuild.
Activities of daily living: being able to safely shower, dress, cook, use the bathroom. The everyday-life rebuild that PT alone can't cover.
Occupational therapy is about activities of daily living, the everyday tasks PT alone can't cover. Bathing without falling. Dressing when range of motion is limited. Cooking with one hand after a stroke. Using the bathroom without help. These are the things that decide whether someone can stay at home or has to move into a higher level of care.
Our OTs evaluate the patient's environment alongside their function. A patient who can't safely transfer from a wheelchair to a bed isn't a strength problem; it's a setup problem, an equipment problem, and a technique problem all at once. We solve all three.
How to start
From referral to first visit.
- 1
A physician, hospital case manager, or family member sends us the referral. The clock starts the moment it lands.
- 2
Our intake team verifies Medicare benefits the same day and confirms homebound status. Traditional Medicare moves immediately. Medicare Advantage takes a little longer because of prior authorization.
- 3
We complete the welcome call and coordinate scheduling for the start-of-care visit, usually the next day for traditional Medicare patients.
- 4
The clinician completes a full evaluation, starts care, and walks the home for fall risks. By the time they leave, the rest of the schedule is on the calendar.
