Frequently Asked Questions

How can I get Home Health Services?

Yadkin Valley Home Health offers skilled services, such as nursing, aides, and rehabilitation. A physician must order these services. Services are delivered in the comfort and security of your own home and are fully covered by Medicare and Medicaid if you meet their criteria.

I have private insurance. Does it cover Home Health Services?

Most major insurances cover skilled care and medical supplies. You can check with your insurer or call us, and we can research it for you.

Are there any eligibility criteria to receive services? I have Medicare Advantage.

Traditional Medicare, as well as Medicare, managed care programs like Advantage and Partners, requires that you be homebound. This means that in order to leave your home to receive services, like physical therapy, it would be a taxing effort on you.

Medicare feels that in-home services are only appropriate for people who cannot easily receive these same services in other settings like outpatient clinics.
