Download our comprehensive guide with everything you need to know about home health services, from getting started to ongoing care.

Navigating home health care for the first time can raise a lot of questions — and that’s completely normal. That’s why Tricare Home Health Services has developed a comprehensive Patient & Family Guide designed to walk you through every stage of the home health experience, from your very first contact with our team to the successful completion of your care plan.
The guide covers the basics of how home health works and who qualifies, including the types of services Tricare provides: skilled nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, medical social work, and Remote Patient Monitoring. It explains how physician-coordinated care works, what to expect during your initial assessment, and how your care plan is built around your personal health goals. It also outlines your rights and responsibilities as a patient, so you always know what you’re entitled to and what’s expected in return.
For family caregivers, the guide includes practical checklists and tips for preparing your home environment, supporting your loved one between visits, and communicating effectively with the care team. We’ve also included a section on insurance coverage — including Medicare and Medicaid — so families understand what services may be covered and how to ask the right questions.
Whether you prefer to read it on your own time or sit down with a family member and go through it together, the Patient & Family Guide is designed to be a resource you return to throughout the care journey. To request a copy or download the guide, contact us at info@tricaresa.com or call 210-342-7777. Our team is always happy to walk you through any section in more detail.
