West River Health Services, a subsidiary of West River Health Services Foundation, offers a Visiting Nurse program through the Rural Health Clinic in Mott.  Nurses do home visits with patients within the West River service area, with nurses stationed in Mott, Lemmon and Hettinger. 

HOME HEALTH CARE ARRANGEMENTS

1. Tell your physician that you want us to provide home care service.
2. When your physician orders home care services, we will confirm your eligibility with the proper payment source.
3. You will begin receiving home care services from us as soon as a nurse is available.
4. In addition to Medicare, the Veterans Administration and private insurance firms like Blue Cross/Blue Shield will pay expenses associated with home health care. Patients are always welcome to cover the cost directly.

QUALIFYING FOR HOME CARE

Once home care is ordered, West River Visiting Nurses does the rest.

We confirm eligibility with the proper payment source.

We then contact the physician to receive instructions about the type of care to be received.

While your physician must order home care for you, other people can start the referral process. Anyone may call a referral to our office. You may schedule an assessment visit at no charge. Your eligibility for home care services will be verified with the proper payment source.
