Do I need Doctor’s Orders?

Do I Need a Doctor’s Orders?

Yes. For most home nursing services, a physician’s orders are required. These may include discharge instructions after a hospital stay, ongoing treatment plans, or specific directives from your doctor. Having these orders ensures that the independent nurse providing your care can deliver services that are safe, precise, and fully aligned with your overall treatment plan.

For infusion therapy, orders are provided directly through your specialty pharmacy. The independent nurse assigned to your care will coordinate with both your doctor and the pharmacy to administer treatments exactly as prescribed.

By working in alignment with your physician’s guidance and maintaining clear communication with your care team, your nurse ensures that every service is seamless, consistent, and delivered with confidence.
