FROM THE AANP STATE REP ON HOME HEALTH CARE BY NPS

Hello All:  I have received many questions about the ability of NP's to order home health care for their patients.  I hope the documents attached to this message will give you ALL the information you could possibly want.

Translation and summary:  RI has NO STATUTORY OR REGULATORY ISSUES that would prevent NP's from ordering home health care for Medicare patients or for being reimbursed for Telehealth visits.

The CARES act, section 3708, signed into law by President Trump on March 20, 2020 covers that adequately.

Please email me directly, or if is something of interest to the entire membership, respond to this message.
