Who We Represent
Built for California's Licensed Home Health Agencies.
This membership category is intended for agencies that provide only licensed home health services and have been licensed for more than 12 months by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH).
Licensed home health agencies deliver skilled nursing and may provide other in-home clinical and supportive services, including continuous care and home health aide services. Depending on their programs and certification status, agencies may work with private insurers, Medi-Cal, or Medicare.
Multiple eligible service lines? If your organization also operates hospice, home care, or a separately designated Medicare-certified home health service line, review the Multi-Section Provider category with CAHSAH staff.
