Information for Healthcare Professionals

When referring a patient, we will require a physician order, progress note and face-to-face encounter from the patient's primary care doctor who must be a Doctor of Medicine or Osteopathy, or Podiatric Medicine.
SENDING YOUR REFERRAL
When referring, please include the patient's demographic information, insurance information, physician's order for specific home health services, face-to-face encounter attestation, and progress notes of the encounter, and fax to (708) 924-0501.

Upon receipt and review of your referral, we may also ask for additional information such as patient's history and physical, and hospital discharge summary, if the patient is coming from a hospital or rehabilitation facility. We will coordinate with you with diligence and efficiency to ensure the patient's smooth transition to our services.
