Dear BarbaraNP: Thank you so much for that information and I did find the initial site you spoke of and realized after looking at the fee schedules that they were codes, but I put a few in and realized that this information will be essential for billing. I just need to know if there is a fee schedule for home health agencies or does it fall under a physician's fee schedule? In addition I want to know the fees I ask for are qualified under what type of facility:home health was not one of the options under trailblazer. In the meantime I will check out the other site you recommended? I'm thinking is there something else I need to be asking. I do see you respond to all the questions in this forum so I will be in touch. If you think of anything for me in regards to this business venture-please privately message me! I thank you again!

Hello I just wanted to comment to the question. I can't speak on the pay so much. If you are in private duty it is up to you to accept a job that pays less. If you are an Rn and your working in the capacity of an LVN you will still be held accountable for what a prudent nurse with your highest level of licensure would do if something happened. I hope this information helps you! I don't know so much about the demands for PDN (Private Duty Nursing) but I would like to know what's it's like in TX. Most CNA's that are sitters say that business is slow! I would like to know if someone else knows in the South Region or Western Hemisphere (Houston)!

Hello All: I'm writing because I wanted to see if anyone had any information on how to obtain Home Health Care Rates for the state of Texas. I have went to Center of Medicaid/Medicare but all it tells me is the update on prospective payment rates. I have two questions. Is there an easier way to obtain this data and two-if there is: How do I go about doing this? I would really like to look into starting my own health care agency independently but this reseach is humongous! I really could use some direction in this endeavor. If any one has some information on grants and how to do policies & procedures. That would be great.
