How is TCNA different from other Visiting Nurse Agencies?
-
TCNA does not bill for services
-
Individuals receiving skilled nursing services from TCNA are not required to be homebound
-
TCNA can provide longer term services. In fact, TCNA often sees individuals after they are discharged from other VNA’s but still need skilled nursing services, (like medication management), to remain independent at home. We work in partnership with local VNA's who frequently refer to us to fill this critical gap once Medicare covered services have ended.
