Why Choose Home Health of Montana?

My experience with Home Health of Montana

When you or a family member requires home care, or most anything for that matter, there are two primary considerations:

1) Quality
2) Price

Obviously with regard to health care, Quality is absolutely the number one consideration.  So how does Home Health of Montana stack up?

1) Quality of Care:  There are only two Medicare-Certified agencies in Missoula County, and two in Ravalli County.  Home Health of Montana is one of the two in each county. 

Medicare tracks quality of care statistics on Medicare-Certified home care agencies.  When Home Health of Montana says that it is the best, it’s not just a slogan.  You can see for yourself.  To see Medicare data comparing the quality of care for the Medicare-Certified agencies in each county, click below. NOTE: Medicare posts quality data on home care agencies nationwide every 3-6 months.

2) Price:  Price is a non-issue when providing Medicare-covered home health services.  Why?  Because Medicare only reimburses a set fee, and it’s the same for any agency in the county.   AND…the patient cannot be billed for any balance for covered home health care services.    So if any Medicare-Certified agency tells you that their Medicare home health services are less expensive….now you know.
