Home health services we provide
Kassy Health provides the six Medicare-recognized home health disciplines: skilled nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, medical social work, and home health aide services. All services are physician-ordered, delivered in the patient's residence, and covered by Medicare Part A or Part B for eligible patients.

Recently discharged from the hospital?
The first 30 days after a hospital discharge are when skilled home health makes the biggest difference — reducing re-hospitalization and accelerating recovery. You have the right to choose your home health agency. Kassy Health is on every major hospital referral list in Central Florida.
You don't have to wait for the hospital to call us. Call our intake team directly and we'll coordinate with your discharge planner.

From referral to discharge — what happens at every step.
Referral
A physician or hospital discharge planner sends a referral with face-to-face documentation. Kassy Health accepts electronic, fax, and EMR-integrated referrals.
Intake
Kassy Health calls the patient or family within four business hours to confirm coverage, scheduling, and address.
Evaluation
A registered nurse visits within 48 hours, completes an OASIS assessment, and drafts the plan of care.
Physician Sign-Off
The plan of care is faxed to the referring physician and returned signed within 48 hours.
Care Delivery
Visits begin per the plan. Frequency depends on diagnosis and physician orders. One primary case manager coordinates all disciplines.
Recertification or Discharge
At 60 days, the patient is recertified for another episode or discharged with a written transition plan.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Medicare Part A and Part B cover home health care at 100% of approved costs for patients who are homebound, under a physician's care, and need part-time skilled nursing or therapy. There is no copay for skilled services and no Medicare deductible for home health. Durable medical equipment is covered at 80% with a 20% coinsurance.
Medicare home health is organized into 60-day episodes. A physician certifies the need at the start of each episode. If the patient continues to meet eligibility criteria at 60 days, the physician can recertify for additional episodes — there is no fixed limit on the number of episodes. Patients are discharged when they no longer meet the homebound or skilled-need criteria.
Home health requires a physician's order and a signed plan of care — it cannot start without physician involvement. However, a family can call Kassy Health directly, and we will contact the physician's office or hospital discharge planner to coordinate the referral. You don't need to wait for the hospital to call us.
Home health is Medicare-certified skilled medical care — nursing, therapy, and social work — ordered by a physician, covered by Medicare, focused on recovery and clinical stability. Home care is non-medical companion and custodial care — housekeeping, transportation, bathing assistance — typically paid out of pocket or through long-term care insurance.
Many families use both. Kassy Health provides the skilled medical care; a separate home care agency provides daily living support. We can recommend trusted partners.
Kassy Health calls the patient or family within four business hours of receiving a referral. A registered nurse visits within 48 hours to complete the initial OASIS assessment and establish the plan of care. Care typically begins within 48–72 hours of a complete referral with physician orders.
