White Card · changing agencies

You can change White Card home health agencies.

Your EEOICPA White Card belongs to you. If the current agency is not meeting your needs, you can choose another qualified provider. The important part is coordinating the handoff so the new agency understands the current authorization, accepted conditions, physician documentation, and care plan.

What does not change: your White Card, your accepted conditions, and the Department of Labor's role do not become the property of a home health agency. A provider change is a provider change — not a new claim from scratch.
01

Choose the new agency.

Ask about licensure, White Card experience, clinical oversight, continuity, response time, and how the agency handles physician and authorization paperwork.

02

The new agency verifies the current record.

The new provider reviews the White Card, accepted conditions, existing authorization, current care needs, and any documentation needed before care starts.

03

The transition is coordinated.

Timing matters. The goal is to align the end of one provider's care with the beginning of the next provider's authorized care rather than leaving the family to coordinate the handoff alone.

04

The new care team takes over ongoing documentation.

Once the transition is complete, the new agency owns its clinical record, visit documentation, physician coordination, and the authorization work tied to the care it provides.

Quick answers

Common questions about switching.

Can I switch White Card home health agencies?

Yes. Your White Card belongs to you, not to a home health agency. You may choose another qualified provider, and the new agency can verify your current authorization and coordinate the transition.

Do I lose my White Card if I change agencies?

No. Changing home health agencies does not cancel the White Card itself. The Department of Labor remains the program administrator, and authorized care remains tied to your accepted conditions and current authorization.

Can Alara help coordinate the switch?

Yes. Alara can review the current White Card and authorization, coordinate needed physician and Department of Labor documentation, and plan the start of care so the transition is organized around continuity.
