Providing skilled services alone isn’t enough. Providers must clearly demonstrate why the care is skilled, why it is medically necessary, and how the patient’s condition requires the expertise of a licensed clinician.

In this episode of HCAF's Home Care Huddle podcast, Senior Director of Best Practices and Compliance is joined by Kim Wilkerson, Review Choice Demonstration (RCD) Manager with SimiTree Healthcare Consulting, to break down what medical necessity truly means, how it should guide clinical decision-making, and how to document skilled services in a way that clearly tells the patient’s clinical story — and stands up to review.
