Please Note

 

Starting January 1, 2011, a physician certifying a Medicare patient for home health services must document that  he or she met face-to-face with the patient, either up to 90 days before the start of care

or up to 30 days after.

​

CMS requires the physician to list the primary diagnosis for home health care (i.e., why the patient requires nursing/therapy services in his or her home) and sign the home health face-to-face encounter (HHF2F) document, attesting that such a visit took place.

If you have further questions regarding how to make a referral, please contact the agency at (818) 616-1111, Monday through Friday, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
