24.4.2 Physician Supervision-Plan of Care
For the Home Health Services plan of care (POC) to be valid, the treating physician must sign and date it, and indicate when the services will begin. The home health agency must update and maintain the POC at least every 60 days or as necessitated by a change in condition.
Medicare Form 485 is not accepted as a POC. The Home Health Services POC is the only acceptable form for reimbursement from the Texas Medicaid Program.
