Some pediatric agencies are changing from L&C to LHH only, therefore is it possible to treat Medicaid pediatric patients under LHH licensure category?
Whether a licensed home health agency can treat pediatric Medicaid patients depends on the needs of the client and the referral source. Some referral sources have specific requirements and may require that a pediatric Medicaid client be served by a licensed and certified agency. If the pediatric Medicaid client were referred to the agency because the agency has contracted with the state, then the agency would need to review its contract requirements.
