How
Do I Enroll In Home Health Care?
To enroll with Kare-In-Home Health Services,
simply call any of our branch offices
or have your doctor's office contact us.
One of our Registered Nurses will then
visit you in your home to determine if
you satisfy the four (4) enrollment requirements
described below.
Kare-in-Home Health Services does not
discriminate on the basis of race, color,
national origin, disability or age.
What
Are The Enrollment Requirements?
Before a patient can enroll with Kare-In-Home
Health Services, the following criteria
must be satisfied:
-
Be under the care
of a licensed physician
-
Have a health problem
which can safely be treated in the home
-
Be physically unable
to leave the home without assistance
(Medicare and Medicaid requirements
for most conditions)
-
Reside within Kare-In-Home's
service area which includes the following
South Mississippi counties: George,
Hancock, Harrison, Jackson, Stone ,
Greene, and Pearl River.
Am
I Free To Choose My Home Health Agency?
According to Federal law, home health care
patients are free to choose which agency will
provide their home care services.
Section 1802 of the Social Security Act "seeks
to ensure that free choice is guaranteed to
all Medicare Patients." The law states:
"Any individual entitled to insurance
benefits under this title [i.e., Medicare]
may obtain health services from any institution,
agency, or person qualified to participate
under this title if such institution, agency,
or person undertakes to provide him such services."
This statement gives patients freedom to choose
whom they want as their provider of home care
services.
So if your doctor recommends home health care
for you or a loved one, ask for Kare-In-Home!
Who
Pays For My Home Care Services?
Kare-In-Home accepts Medicare, Medicaid, Self-Pay and most Commercial Insurance. We also process all billing for your convenience.
