Reminder: Photos are required for home health wound care authorizations after 60 days
As a reminder, after skilled nursing home care services have been approved and provided for 60 days, any additional authorization requests for ongoing services for wound care must include current photos of the wound. These requests are reviewed monthly, and this requirement is in alignment with our Home Care medical policy (#91023).
Authorization requests for ongoing wound care services received without photos may be denied for not adhering to the medical policy.
