Re: Interested in Non medical and medical home care
Sounds like quite a wonderful vision.
I would start with the regulating agencies in your state. Start with one and ask where you can find out more information.
A first place I would start would be your state's department of health and human services or something simular.
Also your state board of nursing will have somethings to say on this.
As far as reimbersement contact the federal medicare folks. You can start on line and then expand your research as you go.
Are you familar with OSASIS charting requirements? If not you need to educate yourself on this.
You are talking about a very highly regulated field of endeavor. It will not be easy for that reason but is not impossible.
Do your homework thoroughly before making decisions. There are multiple types of libility insurance coverage you will have to consider.
Contact your DMV (yes you read that right) because they will regulate the transportation part of your business concerning the lift van.
This is an extreemly ambitious vision. Again not undoable. It will likely have to be done in stages because it is so far reaching.
Because you are talking about a highly regulated business I would look thoroughly into the regulatory requirements before you decide if you wish to start in a less restrictive area such as non medical home services.
