What We Do For Your Practice
In-home nursing assessment within 48 hours of your order.
The Department of Labor requires your Letter of Medical Necessity to specify the type of care, hours per day, and days per week your patient needs. That level of detail is difficult to determine from an office visit. Form EE-17B includes an option to request an in-home assessment before you prescribe — and our registered nurse will complete that assessment within 48 hours of your order, at no cost to you or your patient.
A draft documentation package, prepared for your review.
Our assessment arrives at your office as a complete report: functional findings, home safety observations, ADL deficits, and recommended service levels — mapped to your patient's accepted conditions. You review, revise, and sign. We do the preparation; the clinical judgment stays yours.
You can bill for the report.
Under DEEOIC guidelines, physicians may bill CPT 99080 for report preparation, in addition to the examination itself. Most physicians treating White Card patients are unaware of this. Our package includes the reference so your billing staff can apply it.
The sixty-day window, tracked for you.
DEEOIC requires that the prescribing physician has examined the patient within the past 60 days. We track that window for every shared patient and coordinate with your scheduler before it closes.
What Are the Requirements?
Skilled nursing, therapy, and home health aide services at no out-of-pocket cost
A Director of Nursing who reviews every start-of-care chart personally
Consequential condition screening on every admission, with documentation prepared for your review
A family communication standard: the family hears from us, not the other way around
Real-Time Visibility Into Your Patient
Through our clinical platform, you receive a secure login to view your patient's visit notes, vital signs, and care plan in real time. Families have the same access through a patient app. The result for your practice: fewer status calls, fewer pages, and documentation you can see without requesting records.
How To Refer
