- Coverage
- The official page lists Medicare, Medicaid, and several commercial plans and says to call to verify coverage.

To establish you'll probably need:
These steps use The Whole Person's public instructions. Each step links to its evidence. When the official page stops short of a full intake checklist, this guide says so instead of filling the gap.
Call the Home Health office or submit the assistance request.
The official page lists the St. Joseph office at 816-364-0900 and links to Request Assistance.

- Insurance plan
Ask the office to verify service-area and insurance fit.
Ask the Home Health office to confirm the exact home address and insurance plan. The current service page and About page disagree on Kansas coverage; do not assume Kansas service.
Confirm the clinical referral and start-of-care requirements.
The public page does not publish a complete physician-order, medical-record, assessment, or scheduling checklist.
Do not assume this part
Confirm directly before relying on the service
