Clinical Focus Areas

Every review evaluates the six coverage criteria that determine Medicare payment eligibility.

Medical Necessity

Does the documentation clearly establish why skilled services were reasonable and necessary?

Skilled Need

Does the documentation demonstrate services requiring the skills of licensed clinicians?

Homebound Status

Is homebound status consistently supported throughout the episode?

Clinical Complexity

Are diagnoses, comorbidities, medications, and risks clearly linked to skilled interventions?

Ongoing Need for Care

Does the documentation support continued eligibility for Home Health services?

Documentation Defensibility

Would an ADR reviewer have sufficient evidence to support payment?
