Supervisory visits

[metalRN]

Hello,

I work at a small rural home health agency. For patients with aides, the RN usually sees the patient every other week for a supervisory visit.

My question is, what if the sup visit is due, and the patient is out of town? What are the Medicare guidelines? Do you get the visit as soon as the patient returns, even though it is past the 14 days? How does your agency handle this?

Thanks!

And by "no less than every 90 days" I meant NO MORE than... haha...
