Website Terms of Use

By accessing or using the NextGen Home Healthcare website, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use this website.

1. Informational Purposes Only

Website content is general information and education. It is not a nursing assessment, medical advice, a diagnosis, a physician or practitioner order, or a plan of care. It does not replace individualized evaluation by qualified healthcare professionals.

2. No Patient Relationship or Admission by Website Use

Visiting this website, submitting a referral or contact form, asking about services, or requesting a visit does not by itself create a provider-patient relationship, admit anyone to home health services, or obligate NextGen Home Healthcare to furnish care.

A service relationship begins only after NextGen Home Healthcare accepts the individual for care and all required clinical, consent, order, plan-of-care, eligibility, staffing, and payer requirements are satisfied.

3. Referral and Admission Requests

A referral is a request for evaluation, not a guarantee of admission. Acceptance may depend on the individual's clinical needs, the agency's scope and capabilities, staffing, service area, safety considerations, applicable orders or plan-of-care requirements, and payer or authorization rules.

If another provider, hospital, case manager, family member, or caregiver submits a referral, NextGen Home Healthcare may need additional information or authorization before services can begin.

4. Insurance, Prior Authorization, and Payment

Website statements about insurance participation or covered services are general information and are not a guarantee of payment. Coverage, medical necessity, prior authorization, visit limits, cost-sharing, and network status depend on the patient's payer and benefit plan.

If you are uninsured or choose not to use insurance, contact us for information about any good-faith-estimate rights that may apply to your situation.

5. Home Health, Home Care, and Service Descriptions

Services described on this website may include skilled and non-skilled services with different eligibility, supervision, licensure, and payer requirements. The services actually furnished to a patient are determined by the applicable assessment, service agreement, plan of care, orders, and law — not by website marketing language.

6. Website Communications and Referrals

Do not place detailed clinical histories, medication lists, Social Security numbers, insurance identification numbers, financial-account information, or other highly sensitive data in a general website form unless the form is specifically designated and secured for that purpose.

Patients and referral sources should use the secure portal, secure referral channel, or another method approved by NextGen Home Healthcare when sending protected health information.

7. Electronic Communications

Email and routine text messages may have privacy and security limitations and should not be used for emergencies or urgent changes in condition.

If you opt in to text messages, message frequency varies and message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for assistance where supported. Consent to routine messaging is separate from consent to healthcare services and is not a condition of receiving care.

8. Third-Party Services

The website may use or link to third-party services for referrals, scheduling, patient portals, payments, maps, accessibility tools, hosting, analytics, or other functions. Independent third-party services may have their own terms and privacy practices.

9. Acceptable Use

• Do not use this website to violate any law or another person's rights
• Do not attempt unauthorized access to systems, accounts, or data
• Do not introduce malicious software, automated abuse, or harmful code
• Do not interfere with website operation or security
• Do not impersonate a patient, caregiver, provider, or referral source
• Do not use website content for unlawful or unauthorized commercial purposes

10. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise stated, the NextGen Home Healthcare name, logo, website design, written materials, and other original content are owned by or licensed to NextGen Home Healthcare and may not be reproduced or used commercially without permission except as allowed by law.

11. Accuracy and Availability

We make reasonable efforts to keep website information accurate and current, but service areas, staffing, payer rules, and regulatory requirements can change. We do not guarantee that every page will always be complete, current, error-free, or continuously available.

12. Limitation Regarding Website Use

To the extent permitted by law, NextGen Home Healthcare is not responsible for losses arising solely from reliance on general website information or from temporary inability to access the website.

13. Privacy and Patient Rights

Use of this website is also subject to our Privacy Policy. Our use and disclosure of protected health information is governed by our Notice of Privacy Practices. See also our Patient Rights & Responsibilities.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms periodically. Updated Terms will be posted here with a revised effective date.

15. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by applicable federal law and the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
