Reimbursement is a very important issue in home health care. Because public sources (predominately Medicare) currently pay more than 70 of home health care costs, to ensure payment for services home health nurses should
 
  1. Check a client's Medicare eligibility on a daily basis.
  2. Contact the referring physician to ensure that all services have been ordered.
  3. Contact sources for referral only when absolutely necessary.
  4. Document all assessment data and care provided on required forms.

  1. Ambulatory oncology or ambulatory surgery.
  2. Occupational health or public health.

  4. School health or rural health.
