NEW - This version is a PDF form that can be filled out electronically using Adobe Reader. This means you can type your comments to increase legibility and fit more information on the page. Once you have finished entering your information, you can print the form. However, you cannot save the form with your entered information using the free Adobe Reader. Only the full version of Acrobat lets you do this.

This new version of the form from HRA allows only a few lines for Additional Comments from the doctor. To adequately document the need for home care, it is strongly recommended that advocates add a continuation page, signed by the doctor. This template for Microsoft Word can be used for this purpose.
