Role as a Nurse Practitioner: Nurse Practitioners (NPs) will step into the role of 'provider,' assessing patients referred by home health agencies to determine if they qualify as "homebound". Once patients are certified, they go back to the home health agency, which takes care of the actual home health care. When visiting patients at home, NPs will conduct assessments including visual evaluations, necessary tests/labs, and physical exams. They’ll also review current medications to better understand the patient's conditions, like disability, confusion, or mental illness. All diagnoses will be documented in Office Ally. This role is similar to working in a clinic, but it's done at the patient's home. NPs will start home health referrals as primary care providers, identifying patients who need extra care beyond their regular primary care. They’ll become skilled in diagnosis codes (our Chief NP and the team will train) to properly qualify patients for home health services, ensuring personalized attention. NPs don't represent home health agencies directly, but rather are referred patients based on communication with prior physicians and home health agencies, with our NPs checking their eligibility. Our company bills Medicare directly, so each provider needs a unique PTAN (we will assist in signing you up as a Medicare provider). After assessment, NPs refer patients back to the home health agency. NPs can also refer patients to hospice when needed or transition them from home health if necessary. NPs educate patients on prescriptions, ensure they’re used correctly, and can order labs and medications, including narcotics if they're DEA-licensed. The goal is for NPs to provide personalized patient care, addressing the need for comprehensive attention rather than brief consultations with primary care providers. We believe that NPs, especially those with backgrounds in home health, patient care, or extensive nursing experience, have the insight and ability to meet patients' needs for enhanced care beyond what they have previously experienced. About ACT Medical Group: Our care providers, we call accelerated caregivers, undergo a thorough selection process, screening, and specialized training to ensure they meet the compassionate care standards set by our organization.

Our mission has been to enrich the lives of seniors today and inspire and develop our caregivers for tomorrow. #J-18808-Ljbffr ACT Medical Group
