Referral From Home or Hospital

Stage One: Medical Clinicals

Chapin Home’s thorough referrals process helps us to ensure seniors receive the right personalized care from the outset, maximizing their chances of a swift and seamless transition to our skilled nursing facility. Though the process can differ slightly from person to person based on a patient’s unique clinical and financial circumstances, let’s take a look at the four core stages of patient referrals.

Stage Two: Contacting Resources and Family

At this stage, we take the opportunity to follow up with all the resources available to help us develop a true picture of the patient’s needs. These resources may include previous skilled nursing and rehabilitation facilities, hospitals or insurance companies. This stage also often provides the most natural opportunity for us to properly introduce ourselves to the patient’s family or next of kin.

Stage Three: Payment

Our team will then assess the type of payment or insurance to be used. At this stage, the patient or their representative will be asked to provide insurance details or another method of payment for assessment. Commonly, one of these three routes are taken:

  • Medicaid Pending. If the patient qualifies for Medicaid, we will begin the process, which will involve collating a range of documents from the Medicaid checklist (this typically includes personal documents like bank or insurance statements).
  • Medicare. Depending on their status, patients may be covered by Medicare. If they have used up all their days, however, they might not be eligible.
  • Private Pay. If the patient or family wishes to pay for care privately, a payment plan will be formulated based on their individual needs. Once a plan has been agreed upon, our finance department will then request bank information to initiate payments.
