The Interim HealthCare team in Columbus, Indiana, joined members of the community this fall to participate in the 2026 Walk to End Alzheimer's, helping raise awareness and funds for individuals and families affected by Alzheimer's disease.

Our Columbus, Indiana team raised $325 in support of the Alzheimer's Association, contributing to a larger effort across six Interim HealthCare markets in Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania. Together, our participating teams raised $8,530.

Coming Together for a Shared Cause

Alzheimer's disease affects not only those living with the condition, but also the family members, friends, and caregivers who provide support throughout their journey.

November marks National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month and National Family Caregivers Month, offering an opportunity to recognize the importance of caregiver support and community involvement.

At Interim HealthCare, caring for others extends beyond the services we provide. Participating in community events like the Walk to End Alzheimer's reflects our commitment to supporting the people and families who make our communities special.

We're grateful to our Columbus, Indiana team and everyone who helped support this meaningful cause.

Helping Patients Start Home Health Sooner

When patients in Columbus IN are ready to leave the hospital, timely home health services can make all the difference. For eligible Indiana Medicaid patients, Occurrence Code 42 may allow certain home health services to begin immediately after discharge without waiting for prior authorization, when program requirements are met.

What Is Occurrence Code 42?

Occurrence Code 42 is an Indiana Medicaid provision that helps eligible patients begin medically necessary home health services sooner after an acute hospital stay. This can reduce discharge delays, support continuity of care, and help patients recover safely at home.

How Interim HealthCare Can Help

Our Indiana Home Health team works closely with physicians, hospital discharge planners, case managers, patients, and families to coordinate timely starts of care for eligible referrals.
