Patient Referrals

Patient referrals shouldn’t be an endless maze of paperwork, phone calls, and questions. At VNS Health, we make it easy to refer your patients, so they get the care they need as soon as possible.

Patient Eligibility Referral Criteria

Refer to Hospice Care

As a patient nears the end of life, it can be tough to know when to refer to hospice. VNS Health can help you determine eligibility and get started on a referral.

Personal Care from VNS Health

Would your patient benefit from additional care and support in their home? We offer private-pay care beyond what insurance usually covers, including:

• A specialized program for dementia care at home
• Home health aide services 
• Health escorts, who bring patients to and from medical appointments and events
• Respite home care
• Geriatric care managers

Personal care services do not require a referral. Learn about personal care services from VNS Health so your patients can get the in-home support they need.
