REFERRAL INFORMATION

Admission Criteria
Home evaluation can be done without a physician’s order. However, before services begin, our staff must obtain a physician’s order.

Patients do not have to be under the care of a Hallmark Health physician or utilize a Hallmark Health facility. We accept referrals from a variety of sources, including individuals, families, friends, physicians, discharge planners, and community agencies.

Insurance
Most home health care services are covered by Medicare, Medicaid, HMOs, Managed Care Organizations, Veteran’s Administration, and other health plans. Our staff will contact your insurance company and help determine which services are covered by your policy. Bills will be sent directly to your insurance company.

Hallmark Health VNA also offers a private pay program, Best Care, for those who choose additional care not covered by insurance.
