Massachusetts introduced a standard form in 2025 for home health prior authorization and reauthorization requests to insured health plans. Home health agencies meet it at the start of care or when an authorization period ends, working from the ordering physician's orders. It covers homebound status, functional status, requested nursing, aide and therapy visits with codes and frequency, wound care, and goals for the authorization period.
The home health agency completes the form, naming the ordering MD, PCP and NPI in the requesting provider section and writing the clinical summary, goals and interventions for each discipline. Checkboxes record whether the MD and the patient agree.

Massachusetts Standard Form for Home Health Prior Authorization Requests
If your copy of the form is a fillable PDF, upload it once and Vero Documents fills it from the visit note and the chart, ready for you to review and sign. Download, print, or email the finished form, with the patient’s consent.
A form is listed only after its name and number were confirmed on the issuing agency’s or insurer’s own website, or in the form itself. Each entry links to that source. The list was last checked in October 2026. Forms and their requirements change without notice, so check the official page for the current version before you complete one.

Yes. It covers initial requests and reauthorizations. For a reauthorization, enter the reauthorization date and the existing authorization number, then describe goals, barriers and interventions for the new authorization period in the skilled nursing and other discipline sections.
