  3. 60 day summary & home health aide services!

    At the 60day point we have to reassess and if we still need to see them. We have to get a verbal order from MD. And we do a recert oasis even with private insurance. If DC we have to do a DC oasis. We are not computerized.
  4. opened up a case I have a bad feeling about

    You did the best you could do. Just make sure you also notify the MD that you instructed him to go to ER and he refused. Home health is 24/7 at least it is for me. I lasted 2 years. Good luck.
