Frequently Asked Questions

Get all the common queries here

  • Who qualifies for Home Health?

    Home Health is for individuals who are homebound due to illness or injury and require skilled care from a nurse or therapist. A doctor must certify that the patient needs intermittent skilled services, such as nursing care, physical therapy, or speech therapy, provided in the home.

  • What is the difference between Home Health and In-Home Care?

    Home Health is medical care provided by licensed professionals such as nurses and therapists, under a physician’s order. In-Home Care (also called non-medical home care) includes help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and companionship, but does not require a doctor’s order or involve clinical services.

  • Who pays for Home Health?

    Home Health is usually covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurance plans. Coverage typically includes skilled nursing, therapy, medical social services, and certain medical supplies related to your care.

  • What kind of patients can benefit from Home Health services?

    Home Health can benefit individuals recovering from surgery, illness, or injury, managing chronic conditions like heart failure or diabetes, or those needing rehabilitation support to regain independence at home.

  • When will Home Health visits begin?

    Once a doctor orders Home Health and the referral is received, services usually begin within 24–48 hours, depending on patient needs and availability. Anova works closely with your physician to ensure timely, coordinated care.

  • What happens during the first Home Health visit?

    During the initial visit, a nurse or therapist will assess your health status, review medications, evaluate your home environment, and work with you to create a personalized care plan. This visit is also a chance to ask questions and understand what to expect moving forward.

  • Can a patient request Anova by name when their doctor is ordering Home Health services?

    Yes. Patients have the right to choose their preferred Home Health provider. Simply let your doctor or discharge planner know that you would like to receive services from Anova, and we’ll coordinate the rest.

  • How long can a patient receive Home Health services?

    Home Health services are provided for as long as the patient continues to meet eligibility and medical necessity requirements. The care plan is reviewed regularly, and services can be adjusted based on the patient’s progress and physician recommendations.

  • How often will Home Health visits occur?

    Visit frequency depends on the care plan developed by your healthcare provider and the Anova team. Some patients may receive multiple visits a week, while others may need less frequent check-ins as they recover.

  • Can Home Health help prevent hospital readmissions?

    Yes! Home Health plays a vital role in helping patients manage symptoms, follow treatment plans, and recover safely at home—reducing the risk of complications and avoidable hospital stays.
