Scope of Services and Services Approved on the License
Sets out which home health services the Agency provides: only the types of service the Department has approved and shown on the license (22 CCR §§74627, 74693(d)), each under the direction of a qualified licensed person with written policies and reference material, provided directly or under written arrangement, with equipment checked at every visit and enough qualified staff to deliver what is ordered. Adding or deleting a service is reported to the Department in writing within 10 days (22 CCR §74667(b)(8)). A Medicare-certified agency also makes skilled nursing and at least one other therapeutic service available and provides at least one of them directly (42 CFR §484.105(f)).

In short
- We only provide the services shown on our license.
- Each service is directed by a qualified licensed person and has written procedures you can look up.
- Check the equipment we supply at every visit. If it does not work, take it out of use and call your supervisor the same day.
- Do not provide any service that has no order or is outside your license or certificate.
- If we cannot staff a service a patient needs, tell the office at once so the patient and practitioner can be told.
