We focus on delivering the care thats best for the patient, whether that is home-based recovery and rehab after an operation or injury or care focused on empowering them to manage a chronic disease.
Amedisys is the only home health agency in NE Wisconsin that provides behavioral health/psychiatric home care. We employ Medicare certified psych nurses that specialize in depression, anxiety, and behaviors associated with dementia. Our services are paid 100% by Medicare, no direct cost to patient.
Patient has Medicare or Medicare disability as primary insurance. Most Medicare replacement/supplement plans are also accepted. We also accept Medicaid parients only if secondary to Medicare. Patient is considered "homebound." Patients do not need to be "bedbound." If client resides in a skilled nursing facility, s/he cannot recieve services. HMOs, private pay, and private insurance also accepted.
Our target population are those who are age 65 and older with Medicare, homebound, requiring intermittent skilled nursing (psych nursing, wound care, disease management) or physical therapy. Our behavioral health program focuses on patients with depression, anxiety, Alzheimer's, dementia, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and substance abuse.
