Service launched in 2019 provides inpatient-level care within the home
Ascension Saint Thomas has been approved to provide inpatient-level home health care to Medicare fee-for-service patients through the end of the federal emergency period.
Ascension leaders say the nonprofit health system is the first in the state to be approved for such coverage, after launching an in-home health care services program in partnership with Nashville-based Contessa Health in 2019. Now called Hospital Care at Home, the program provides acute care services to patients with non-life-threatening medical conditions or who are recovering from an in-hospital procedure. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services approved coverage of the service out of Ascension Saint Thomas Midtown, West and Rutherford Hospitals.
