Medicare Home Health
Speech Therapy after the brain event.
Treatment for swallowing, communication, and cognition after stroke, TBI, or neurodegenerative disease, delivered by licensed SLPs in the home.
Speech-language pathology in the home is most often about three things: swallowing safely after a stroke, communicating after aphasia, and rebuilding cognition after a TBI or neurodegenerative diagnosis. Our SLPs evaluate all three on the first visit and tailor the plan from there.
Treating these problems at home matters. The patient's environment, family, and routines are part of the recovery, and a clinic visit can't see them. Working in the kitchen the patient actually uses, with the family who actually feeds them, is the difference between a treatment plan that sticks and one that resets every Monday.
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.
