Home Health care is provided through visits from specialized clinicians, performing specific tasks (rather than time-based shifts), on a short-term basis, until specified individual goals are met. These services must be part of a treatment plan written by your provider (such as your physician or advanced registered practitioner [ARNP]). The provider must certify that you are homebound.
