Home Health generates the budget document and sends the document to the patient for approval. You can also see the generated document in the Notes & Attachments section on the Related tab of the patient record page.
Patients receive two separate emails, one with a link to the budget document, and another with the password to open the document. Patients review the final budget and net balance, and make an informed decision to either approve or reject the budget. Patients reach out to the home health agency to convey their decision.
If the patient approves the budget, care coordinators approve the quote items and schedulers begin to schedule the home visits.
