What should you ask Bellcoa Home Health Service Inc before starting care?
Ask what 'done' looks like
50% of patients reached the level of function Medicare expected by discharge (Texas average 64.5%). Ask what goals they would set for your situation and what happens if progress stalls.
Ask about fall prevention
3% of its patients had a fall with a major injury during care, against 1.1% across Texas. Ask for a home safety review at the first visit and what they change after a fall.
Ask how many visits a week to expect
Home health is intermittent: visits, not shifts. Ask for the planned number of nursing and therapy visits per week so the family knows which hours still need covering.
Ask whether your plan treats it as in-network
Original Medicare pays any certified agency. Medicare Advantage plans use networks, and an out-of-network agency can mean a denied claim. Give them the exact plan name on the card.
