Can I Choose My Own Home Health Care Agency?

• Just as you have the right to choose a hospital, physician, durable medical equipment company, or pharmacy, you also have the right to choose your own home health care agency.
• Potential home health care recipients have the right to ask what choices are available, and which agencies service their area.
• Hospital discharge planners have an obligation to ask patients if they have a preferred home health care agency. Patients have the right to decline the hospitals preferred provider and select the home health care provider of their choice.
