What is treatment like with Valley Vital Care?
Beginning Treatment
Our first meeting with a patient, typically held in the hospital before the patient goes home, gives us a chance to meet the patient, family members, and the patient’s physicians. This is when Valley Vital Care becomes part of a patient’s care team. Many patients are concerned about receiving treatment at home. We take time to explain the process and answer questions. We want patients to know that they are not alone and have a whole team by their side throughout the entirety of their therapy. Our goal is to ensure a smooth and seamless transition from the hospital or doctor’s office to the home setting.
During Home Care
Valley Vital Care delivers the first dose of medicine during the initial visit. Throughout treatment we check in with patients regularly, we refill doses as needed, and we review lab work and monitor outcomes. But, the most critical service we provide is our diligent coordination and communication between all elements of the patient’s care team. We make sure everyone is on the same page throughout treatment to safeguard quality and continuity of care.
Completion of Home Care
The end of home treatment is marked when infusion access is removed by the home health aide or a medical practitioner. Valley Vital Care is committed to continuing as a part of the care team until treatment concludes. We make it a standard practice to follow up with patients and answer any final questions or concerns prior to discharging from service.
Valley Vital Care helps patients navigate a complicated and often fragmented healthcare system. We help patients smoothly transition from hospital to home. We serve as an integral part of a patient’s care team and provide critical communication and coordination among all parties involved in the patient’s care. The result is that patients spend less time in hospitals where they are at greater risk for infection and stress and more time at home in comfort recuperating and restoring health.
Insurance Coverage
Valley Vital Care is the cost-effective provider of infusion and clinical care services. We work with Medicaid, Medicare, and all commercial insurance plans. With support from our corporate billing team, we help patients navigate the complex medical care system and facilitate billing, insurance claim requirements, and reimbursement for the best possible patient savings.
