Assisted Living Facilities - Homecare Guide to Medicare Coverage
Homecare providers often confront the situation of providing care to patients who reside in assisted living facilities. The issue is complex. Is an assisted living facility (ALF) considered the patient’s home? Is the patient homebound? How do services the agency provides fit in with those of the facility? The CMS offers no specific guidance. This guide offers the in-depth, expert guidance you need. You’ll learn the ins-and-outs of providing homecare services to patients living in these supportive housing arrangements.
Chapters include:
- Type of Supportive Housing
- Coverage Decision Flow Chart
- How to Determine the Patient’s Eligibility
- Tips for Nursing and Therapy Services
- Role of the Home Health Aide
- CMS Interpretations and Intermediary Rulings
