Getting Started

Talk to your physician. Ask your primary care doctor or specialist if you are a good candidate for home health care. A physician referral is required.

Call our intake office. (757) 594-5600 or toll free (888) 594-5600. Our staff will:

• assess home service needs
• assist with insurance or Medicare eligibility verification
• answer any questions or concerns
• follow up in helping secure appropriate referrals from your doctor 

Insurance
Health insurance and Medicare coverage benefits can be a maze of confusing information. Riverside Home Health offers insurance verification services. Call the Central Intake office at (757) 594-5600 and our staff will help assess your insurance coverage giving you peace of mind about the financial aspects of home health coverage. 

In general, Medicare covers home health care services provided you meet certain qualifications. Most insurance companies follow Medicare guidelines, but may not require a homebound status. Some general requirements for insured home care are:

• You must be referred by your doctor or surgeon
• Your service requested must be reasonable and medically necessary
• You must need intermittent skilled services such as skilled nursing or physical therapy
• Care is provided in your place of residence
• You are homebound or unable to leave the house without considerable and taxing effort (generally required by Medicare and Tricare only)

Please understand that not all patients qualify for home care. If you do not qualify, we will work with you to find help through other community resources.
