FAQ
Questions we hear often
Do you provide RNs or LPNs?
Both. A registered nurse does the first assessment and builds the plan of care; LPNs may provide routine visits under RN supervision.
Can you do just a lab draw?
Tell us on the referral. Whether a lab-only visit is covered depends on the patient's plan, and we'll confirm before scheduling.
Does the patient need to be homebound?
Many insurance plans require it for home health. We confirm the patient's plan requirements when we verify benefits.
Which insurance do you accept?
We work with Regence, Premera, Molina, LifeWise, Heritage, TriWest, L&I and more. See the full list above, or call us if you don't see your plan.
How soon can care start?
We call you within one business day of receiving the referral. The first visit is usually within 48 hours after we verify insurance and receive any required prior authorization. Urgent referrals are handled first.
Do you also provide home infusion?
Yes. Magenta Care is ACHC-accredited in home infusion therapy. Visit magentacares.com for infusion referrals.
