Definition
An In Home Supportive Care Agency provides services in the patient's home with the goal of enabling the patient to remain at home. The services provided may include personal care services such as hands-on assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), e.g., eating, bathing, dressing, and bladder and bowel requirements; homemaker services and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs), e.g., taking medications, shopping for groceries, laundry, housekeeping, and companionship; and/or supervision or cuing so that a person can perform tasks themselves.
Patientary is an informational reference tool built on public data (CMS NPPES and the official ICD-10-CM release). It is not medical, coding, legal or billing advice, and code assignment is the responsibility of a qualified professional. Always verify against the primary source before you bill or file.
