1. Reasonable and Medically Necessary and Skilled Intermittent Care
In order to qualify for Medicare home care, the care required must be skilled, intermittent, reasonable, and necessary. Understanding the definition of skilled, intermittent care and medically necessary can be difficult and imparting that knowledge to all clinicians often very challenging. This chapter will review the definitions of skilled intermittent care for skilled nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy and discuss reasonable and necessary requirements of care. Examples will be given throughout the chapter.
2. Pulling It All Together
This chapter is designed to summarize and reinforce the information presented in the course. The methodology will be an interactive discussion between a home care supervisor and a nurse who is new to home care. The interactive discussion will highlight some of the key points presented in the chapters.
