Patient Choice

Patient Choice

You have the right to choose which home health care agency you want in your home. The Balanced Budget Act of 1997 made it mandatory for hospitals to offer patients a choice when discharging them with home health care. This is an important law. You have the power to choose your own health care provider. You can even let your doctor or hospital discharge planner know in advance that you want North Woods Home Care and Hospice for your home health care needs.
