Can Medicare patients choose Acton Nursing Services as their home health care provider?
In general, yes. One of the important rights granted to Medicare patients is the right to select the provider they prefer. This right applies to Medicare patients who have traditional Medicare or a Medigap policy through an insurance company (such as Core and Supplement 1 Medigap policies offered in Massachusetts). Some Medicare Advantage plan members may also use ANS but coverage and acceptance should be confirmed.
