Testimonials

" What a great free service. I was in a rush to find care for my mother who was being discharged from the hospital within 48 hours. Not only did the National Homecare Network introduce me to a great local provider but they were there helping me every step of the way! "

— David S., Los Angeles, CA

" I completed your online questionnaire and almost immediately, I received a call from one of your nurses. She helped me make multiple appointments with local agencies in my area. I received three calls within the next 2 hours, and all 3 came to visit me in my home. I hired one of the companies and am very satisfied with the whole process. "

— Peter J., Boston, MA

Managed Care

There is currently no standard definition of managed care, but it can best be described as a combination of insurance and a health care delivery system. The basic goal of managed care is to coordinate all health care services received to maximize benefits and minimize costs. Managed care plans use their own network of health care providers and a system of prior approval from a primary care doctor in order to achieve this goal. Providers include: specialists, hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, therapists, and home health care agencies.
