HOME HEALTHCARE: BRINGING THE HOSPITAL HOME
 
When you need help at home, call the medical professionals at Beebe Home Health Agency. They have been bringing quality health-care into the homes of area residents since 1985.

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM HOME HEALTHCARE?

Anyone who needs additional assistance to live independently at home due to an illness or disability. Individuals who have acute illness or injury requiring high-tech care that can be provided
at home. Patients who require short-term assistance at home because of same-day or outpatient surgery. Many people can benefit from intermittent services to prevent hospitalization,
due to a complication, for a chronic condition.

Parents caring for special-needs infants and children, or any homebound patient in need of medical care are eligible for home health services.

Beebe Home Health Agency works with you and your doctor to develop and manage your individual plan of care. You can receive Beebe Home Health Agency care following hospitalization through a case manager or discharge planner, who will meet with you to answer any question you may have, or by consulting with your physician. Once you have selected Beebe Home Health Agency,
a professional nurse or therapist will do an in-home assessment and coordinate your care consulting a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals.

WHO PAYS FOR HOME HEALTH SERVICES?

In addition to Medicare and Medicaid, home health services are generally covered by insurance, most private insurance plans, and managed-care organizations. Beebe Home Health Agency staff will research and verify your insurance coverage and obtain any necessary authorizations. We will bill the insurance provider for you, so you can concentrate on getting well.
