Yes

Does this report include patients served by home health agencies that we contract with to provide some of the services for our patients?
Yes

Does my home health agency have to complete the report if we do not provide any skilled services?
Yes

Does my home health agency have to complete the report if we are not a Medicare or Medicaid home health agency?
Yes

We contract with another home health agency, nurse registry or health care services pool for nurses. We do not know what nurses are paid each quarter. How can we complete the report?

The state law requires that your home health agency report all nurses who were paid for serving patients for your home health agency. Therefore, you will need to get information from the home health agency, nurse registry or health care services pool, such as an itemized invoice that gives the name and license number of the nurse, the service provided, the date(s) of the services and the amount paid.

Our Director of Nursing, the registered nurse designee in her absence, and other RN supervisors also provide some nursing services to patients. Do they have to be included in the report?

No. The law says home health agencies are to include nurses “whose PRIMARY job responsibility is to provide home health services to patients.”
