Enteral Referrals
Use this order checklist to help you find the answers to qualify your patients for enteral therapy.

A compelling referral or endorsement, whether it comes from a medical provider or patient, is a sound indication that we are fulfilling our mission of delivering high-quality home respiratory care. We work with hundreds of doctors, nursing homes, and long-term care facilities to assist in providing home care alternatives for respiratory treatments and therapies. Together, we deliver an outstanding experience that improves our patients' well-being and overall quality of life.
To help support your efforts in meeting Medicare documentation requirements, we offer two referral guides designed to provide helpful, informational resources for your team. Medicare requires documentation that supports medical necessity; these guides are intended as general reference tools to help you understand the information commonly needed when preparing referrals.
You can also visit the equipment-specific pages throughout this section to learn more about individual products and services.

Our comprehensive Making a Referral Book covers documentation considerations for a wide range of product categories. The guide organizes key requirements by equipment type, giving you an easy-to-use reference as you prepare patient documentation and referrals.
Need guidance for all product categories?
For providers referring patients for advanced respiratory therapies, our Advanced Respiratory Referral Guide focuses specifically on Bilevel/RAD and Noninvasive Home Ventilation (NHV). This specialized resource outlines important documentation considerations related to these therapies.

Requirements for Medicare documentation and medical necessity may vary and are subject to change.
