Do I have to get a doctor's referral?
While a Homehealth client can be referred by anyone, doctor, hospital discharge planner, self, family, etc. a doctor must sign for services.  Rio Home Care works very hard to work as the Doctor's eyes and ears in the patients' home and most doctors appreciate the value of Home Healthcare.

Who chooses which Home Healthcare?
The ultimate decision belongs to the patient.  In the same manner you can choose which doctor you go to, you also have the choice of Home Healthcare agencies. 

Who pays for Rio Home Care's services?
If you meet the criteria for Medicare Home Health Care, the  services are free to the patient.
