About Doctor'S Preferred Home Health INC.

Doctor'S Preferred Home Health INC. is a Medicare-certified home health agency in Concord, California, operating under CMS Certification Number (CCN) 559763. -. The agency is required to comply with the Conditions of Participation at 42 CFR Part 484, the federal regulation that governs all Medicare- and Medicaid-participating home health agencies.

Doctor'S Preferred Home Health INC. has held its Medicare certification for approximately 4 years as of the most recent CMS publish (certification date on file: 2022-01-27). Newly-certified agencies (under 3 years) face a higher administrative-survey rate during their initial recertification window; long-tenured agencies (over 10 years) typically have more stable Five-Star trajectories but face heightened scrutiny on any ownership-change or chain-acquisition event.

Services Offered

Doctor'S Preferred Home Health INC. offers: Service mix not reported by CMS. CMS requires home health agencies to disclose which of the six covered service categories they provide; agencies that do not provide skilled nursing or therapy services in-house typically arrange them through contracted providers.

CMS Quality Ratings

Quality of Patient Care: ★½ (1.5 of 5). No CAHPS patient experience survey data published yet. CMS updates these ratings quarterly using OASIS assessment data and Medicare claims. A change of one star typically requires sustained improvement across 6-12 months of submitted assessments.

CMS Process and Outcome Measures

Doctor'S Preferred Home Health INC. sits at or below the California cohort median on every reported measure; the largest gap is Improvement in Management of Oral Medications (35% vs 86.0%, 51.0 points below). Sustained under-performance against state peers tends to compound the recertification risk under the agency's next standard survey.

OASIS-derived process and outcome measures are the substantive signal CMS surveyors and Patient-Driven Groupings Model (PDGM) reviewers reference when assessing an agency's clinical effectiveness. CMS publishes 11 home-health measures quarterly; Doctor'S Preferred Home Health INC. has the following on file:

• Timely Initiation of Care: 94%. This measure tracks percent of episodes where the start-of-care visit occurred within 48 hours of physician referral or hospital discharge. That puts Doctor'S Preferred Home Health INC. modestly below the California median (97.0%).
• Improvement in Ambulation/Locomotion: 59%. This measure tracks percent of patients whose ability to walk or move around improved measurably during the care episode. The California cohort median is 88.0%, so Doctor'S Preferred Home Health INC. ranks well below.
• Improvement in Bed Transferring: 53%. This measure tracks percent of patients who got better at moving between bed and chair safely. Across same-state peers (median 88.0%), this rate is well below.
• Improvement in Bathing: 50%. This measure tracks percent of patients whose bathing self-care ability improved. Compared with the 90.0% state median, Doctor'S Preferred Home Health INC. sits well below.
• Improvement in Management of Oral Medications: 35%. This measure tracks percent of patients who got better at taking their medications correctly. That puts Doctor'S Preferred Home Health INC. well below the California median (86.0%).
• Improvement in Dyspnea (Shortness of Breath): 57%. This measure tracks percent of patients whose shortness of breath improved during care. The California cohort median is 92.0%, so Doctor'S Preferred Home Health INC. ranks well below.

Measures derive from patient-level OASIS-E submissions and are risk-adjusted for case mix. Cohort comparisons in this list use a sample of 200 same-state Medicare-certified peers pulled live from CMS Provider Data. Year-over-year movement of more than 5 percentage points on any measure usually triggers a closer look during the next recertification survey, particularly when paired with a complaint-survey trigger.
