All services right within
the nursing home
HealthDrive professionals use specialized portable technologies that allow them to
provide all routine and preventative services right on-site. Your loved one
who otherwise would be unable to receive off-site care
due to cognitive, behavioral and physical conditions can be treated on-site.
Stringent infection control
Your HealthDrive professional follows strict infection control protocols to minimize your
loved one's exposure to unnecessary infectious agents. He or she wears gloves and changes
them for each treatment, sterilizes instruments between patients, and autoclave
heat-sterilizes all instruments exposed to blood and bodily fluids. HealthDrive
professionals have portable sterilizers. In addition, they are provided
with disposable jackets, sharps containers for proper needle disposal, and disinfection
solutions. Podiatrists also have available a Sani-Vac III,
a specialized vacuum for
minimizing nail and nail dust dispersal.
Medicare/Medicaid billing where applicable
HealthDrive's billing departments are diligent in staying informed of current Medicare and
Medicaid guidelines, including regulations, documentation requirements, and allowable
services. We are available to discuss any questions you have regarding eligibility,
medical necessity, and bills.
Legible and complete documentation
HealthDrive custom-developed easy to read examination forms and progress notes to ensure
that practically anyone can comfortably review information. All documentation was created
with compliance and our patients' interest in mind. Your loved one's professionals have a random
selection of their records reviewed monthly to ensure their appropriateness, completeness
and legibility.
