Managing patients with bipolar disorder at home: a family affair and a psychiatric challenge in home healthcare

Home Healthcare Nurse
Verna Benner Carson, Sandra L Yambor

Abstract

Medicare has covered psychiatric home care for many years, but the delivery of psychiatric services in the home continues to raise questions related to coverage and criteria. What services do psychiatric nurses provide in the home? What are the rules and regulations governing this service? This article presents information related to psychiatric nursing in home care and specifically bipolar disease. These questions are answered within Chapter 7 of the Medicare Benefit Policy Manual, April 2011. Section 40.1.2.15.
