Talk with our office first.
Our team can discuss service availability and explain the information needed to review a referral. Call before sending records so we can confirm the appropriate delivery method and current referral requirements.
Information to have available.
For a referral discussion, the following can help establish the next steps:
- The ordering provider and a contact person for follow-up.
- The requested home health disciplines.
- The location where the patient will receive care.
- Relevant discharge timing and coordination needs.
- The patient’s health plan and any authorization questions.
The agency will specify any documentation needed. This list is a conversation guide, not a complete intake packet.
Coordinate the next step.
Ask the office how referral receipt, acceptance, and scheduling will be communicated. Timing depends on clinical needs, complete information, coverage, and availability.
