Questions About Home Health Care

Eligibility depends on factors such as your medical needs, whether skilled nursing or therapy is required, your ability to leave home, and the required orders and plan of care.

Paramount can help you understand the next steps based on your situation.

Home health services may be provided in qualifying residential settings, including private residences and certain assisted living environments.

Contact us to discuss your particular situation.

Coverage depends on eligibility, the services required, your insurance, and the terms of your plan.

Our team can help you understand the verification process. For specific coverage questions, you should also confirm benefits with your insurance provider.

Patients may have choices regarding their home health provider depending on referral, coverage, availability, payer rules, and other circumstances.

Ask your healthcare provider or contact Paramount if you would like to discuss a referral.

Services include skilled nursing, wound care, IV therapy, injections, medication teaching and management, chronic disease management, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, post-surgical care, post-stroke care, fall prevention, nutritional counseling, medical social work, and qualifying home health aide services.

Visit frequency depends on your needs, ordered services, assessment, and approved plan of care.

Some patients require more frequent visits initially, while others may need a different schedule.

We aim for consistency whenever possible, but staffing, clinical needs, scheduling, and the types of services ordered can affect which team members visit.

Standard intermittent skilled home health services are different from around-the-clock private-duty care.

Contact Paramount to discuss what services are currently available and appropriate for your situation.

Yes, when multiple therapies are medically appropriate and included in the approved plan of care.

A patient may, for example, receive physical therapy and occupational therapy, or therapy alongside skilled nursing.

Home health services generally require an appropriate order and plan of care.

If you are unsure where to begin, contact Paramount and our team can explain the referral process.

Timing depends on the referral, required orders, your care needs, insurance verification where applicable, and clinical availability.
