⭐ #1 Home Care Agency in Philadelphia Area and Suburbs — Seniors · Pediatric · Veterans
FOR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS
Discharge planners, physicians, social workers, and skilled nursing facility teams can refer a patient by phone, by email, or with the form on this page. A-Team intake verifies insurance, a registered nurse assesses the patient at home, and care starts under one RN-supervised plan.
Call our intake line or send the form below with the patient’s name, date of birth, insurance, diagnoses, and the referring clinician. A-Team handles insurance verification, the RN home assessment, and care plan setup.
WHO REFERS
Four groups of professionals send patients to A-Team across Greater Philadelphia. Each referral gets the same intake process and the same RN-led assessment.
Case managers and discharge coordinators at acute care hospitals. Common referrals: post-acute home health and skilled nursing follow-up under Medicare or commercial insurance.
PCPs, internists, geriatricians, and specialists with patients aging in place. Common referrals: Medicare home health and ongoing personal care under Community HealthChoices.
Social workers at hospitals, managed care plans, and area agencies on aging. Common referrals: personal care, companion care, respite care, and family caregiver enrollment. A-Team intake handles insurance verification.
SNF discharge planners and rehab social workers. A-Team coordinates with the SNF team before discharge so the RN assessment lines up with the patient’s return home.
THE PROCESS
Four steps from your call to the start of care. Timing depends on the payer: Medicare home health starts once physician orders are in place, and Community HealthChoices care starts after the patient’s managed care plan authorizes it.
Call (215) 490-9994, email service@ateampa.com, or use the form on this page. Include the patient’s name, date of birth, insurance, diagnoses, and the referring clinician.
An A-Team intake coordinator confirms the referral, checks insurance eligibility, and identifies the payer: Medicare, Community HealthChoices, OPTIONS, VetAssist, long-term care insurance, or private pay.
A Pennsylvania-licensed registered nurse visits the patient at home, completes the assessment, reviews the physician orders, and writes the plan of care.
Nurses or caregivers start visits under the RN-supervised plan of care, and A-Team keeps the referring clinician informed once the patient is admitted to service.

WHY REFERRERS CHOOSE A-TEAM
Six reasons discharge teams and physicians place patients with A-Team.
A-Team holds Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC) accreditation for home health.
A Medicare-certified home health agency (CMS certification number 398278), so patients under the Medicare home health benefit can be admitted directly.
Pennsylvania Department of Health non-skilled license #31003601 and skilled license #06450501.
In-network with Keystone First, UPMC Community HealthChoices, and PA Health & Wellness, plus the PCA OPTIONS program and VetAssist.
Every plan of care is written and updated by a Pennsylvania-licensed registered nurse, with re-assessment visits as state and Medicare rules require.
A patient can move from Medicare home health to ongoing personal care hours without changing agencies: one intake, one RN supervisor, one care plan.
