I'm a member of the PTA and, on average, that's my usual home visit time (sometimes there are weeks). A visit can last up to an hour. This gives you and your doctor enough time to talk and get the necessary screening tests. Patients receiving home health care have critical needs that require timely care after discharge from the hospital.
While Medicare requires nursing visits to start care on time, a significant proportion of home health patients wait more than two days for their first visit. No previous study investigated the pattern of initiation of care visits or the factors associated with the time they were performed. The purpose of this study was to examine the variation in the timing of initial care visits and to characterize patients who visit more than two days after discharge.

Based on this demonstration, your home health agency can submit to Medicare a request for a pre-claim review of coverage for home health services.

Home care is a wide range of health care services that you can receive at home in the event of an illness or injury.

Home health care is often less expensive, more convenient, and as effective as the care you receive at a hospital or skilled nursing facility (SNF).

Additional studies are needed to clarify the best way to structure home health services and determine readiness for discharge in order to reduce hospitalization among this chronically ill population. Medicare's home health care provision covers skilled nursing care and home care aides.
Home care aides provide personal care services to the patient at home, including help with bathing, going to the bathroom and dressing. Therefore, it is difficult to meet the demand for one-off visits within 2 days for different reasons. You won't qualify for the home health care benefit if you need more than part-time or intermittent specialized care. In most cases, part-time or intermittent time means that you may be able to receive skilled nursing care and home health care services for up to 8 hours a day (combined), for up to 28 hours per week.
Additional studies are needed to clarify the best way to structure home health services and determine if you are ready to be discharged, in order to maximize home health benefits and reduce hospitalizations among this chronically ill population...
