Any recommendations for my 79 mom visiting from Italy. I would like to do a OT consultation, I noticed her balance has got worst. Her Dr in Italy did some testing and all was negative but I would like an OT consult to measure her strength and balance.
Ask primary care doctor to write an order for home health.
It really does add strength and balance.
Best wishes.
Home care requires a doctors order to determine the patients needs. In this case the OP will need to establish a relationship with a PCP here for the order. Tests in Italy did not provide a reason.
Thus the OP will have to pay out of pocket for any services received by a HC professional. Any doctor taking her on (mother from Italy) will most likely run a bevy of diagnostic testing on the mom if the MD is to assume care as the HC provider knows nothing of the person’s history. Those costs too will need to be paid OOP.
