Choosing a Home Health Agency. "If your doctor decides you need home health care, you may choose an agency from the participating Medicare-certified home health agencies that serve your area. Home health agencies are certified to make sure they meet certain Federal health and safety requirements. Your choice should be honored by your doctor, hospital discharge planner, or other referring agency. You have a say in which agency you use, but your choices may be limited by agency availability, or by your insurance coverage. (Medicare Advantage Plans or other Medicare health plans may require that you get home health services from agencies they contract with.)"
