Frequently Asked Questions for HomeCare Rehab and Wellness

What to Expect?

Once you or your referral source has contacted our office, a therapist will call you to schedule an initial visit in your home to do an initial evaluation.

During this visit, the therapist will evaluate you. A customized treatment plan will be developed based on this evaluation with input from you, your physician, and if appropriate, your family, and caregivers. This team will together develop your plan of care. Your therapist will work with you to set goals for your therapy and to design a home program for you.

The caring staff at HomeCare Rehab & Wellness, LLC is committed to returning you to functional independence as quickly as possible.

We specialize in addressing the needs of the seniors in our community. Whether you are recovering from a recent hospital stay, a stroke, a heart condition, a joint replacement, or general debilitation, we will work to get you on the road to recovery.

What insurance does HomeCare Rehab and Wellness, LLC take?

MEDICARE...and some other insurance companies. Call our office for specific requests.

Are these services covered 100%?

We are set up as an outpatient Physical and Occupational Therapy clinic. Medicare Part B covers 80% and if you have a secondary insurance, often referred to as a supplemental policy, it usually covers the remaining 20%. So if you have Medicare Part B and a supplemental policy, services may be covered at 100%. Individual policies vary.

If you qualify as being "homebound" - meaning you go out very infrequently due to physical restraints or cognitive deficits - then we can see you in your home where most insurance plans will provide 100% coverage.

What if I need nursing services?

We are able to provide these services by special relationships we have with other homehealth care providers if you also need nursing services.

How do I make a referral from the hospital or nursing home as I plan on going home?

Just tell the discharge planners (and/or your physician) that you are requesting our services once you leave their facility. They will contact us and arrange for a smooth transition for your continued rehabilitation in your home.

Can my physician make a referral for me from their office?

Yes, they can phone in the referral to 301-662-1997 if in Frederick County, Maryland. They can call TOLL FREE if outside Frederick County (1-877-727-3422). They may choose to simply fax us your referral to 301-668-2202.

How do I request Dementia Therapy or any other specialized service?

Just inform us of your request at the time of your call or referral so we can make sure the right therapist works with you.

Do I need a physician's referral to see a physical therapist in Maryland?

No, Maryland is one of 46 states that have direct access for physical therapy services and do not require a physician's order to see clients. Some insurance providers however do require a physician's order for reimbursement. If you are paying privately, this of course is not an issue.
