Yes, we are Medicare certified.

Home health services are paid by Medicare, Medicaid/Oregon Medical Assistance Plan, managed care organizations, private insurance, or private payers.

All Home Health services require a referral from a doctor, however there are a wide range of events that are eligible for home-based services.

You may be eligible for home health services if you meet the following requirements:

• You must be under the care of a doctor and receiving services under a plan of care that’s established and reviewed regularly by a doctor.
• You must need, and a doctor must certify that you need, one or more of the following:
  • Intermittent skilled nursing care
  • Physical therapy
  • Speech-language services
  • Occupational therapy
• You must be “home-bound”, and a doctor must certify that you are home-bound. To be home-bound means:
  • Your condition keeps you from leaving home without help, such as using a wheelchair or walker, needing special transportation, or getting help from another person.
  • It takes a considerable and taxing effort to leave home.
  • Leaving home is generally limited, such as for medical treatment or other short, occasional absences, like attending religious services and/or hair appointments. You can still get home health care if you attend adult day care, but home care services are delivered at home.

We work with you, your family and your physician to help create a plan of care that best fit your individual situation. The number and frequency of visits will be determined by this collaborative plan of care.

Yes, patients have the right to choose their provider. You can specifically ask for Cascade Health to serve as you home health provider, regardless of whom your primary care provider might be, or what hospital or skilled nursing facility you’ve been treated in.

Making a referral to Cascade Home Health is easy. Simply call (541) 228-3050 and provide the patient’s name, date of birth, and demographic information.

We will call you to schedule an initial visit to have a nurse assess the patient’s condition and needs. Our clinician will then contact your medical office to report the findings and suggest a plan of care. Subsequently, we’ll contact you with any change in status, complications, or problems achieving set goals. The number of visits is based on the physician’s orders and individual needs. Skilled medical services are covered by Medicare and most other insurance plans.
