I was dropped by a home health agency, because they said I was not  
homebound, and when I called them they said I didn't have enough reasons for a  
nurse 
to come but they told my case manager that it was.  I was not  homebound, even 
though she told them insurance would pay even if I was not  homebound.  I had 
had this agency, since I moved to Prairie Village, 18  years ago.
 
What do the guidelines say about the determination for homebound.  I  don't 
drive that I go to doctors and two stores to buy things.  I found  another 
agency that would take me.  I have Blue Cross right now, and I  don't know what 
will happen, when my stepmom retires and I have  Medicare/Medicaid.  The agency 
I have does not take Medicaid.
 
Just wondering if anyone else has had this experience and what did you  do.
 
It seems so unfair that we should have to stay at home 24/7 days of the  week 
to get a nurse to help us with cultures, looking at skin breakdown and  blood 
work on a routine basis.
 
Dana.
