Atlanta home health provider can keep receiving Medicare

ATLANTA - The government will allow metro Atlanta&#39;s largest home health provider to keep receiving funds from Medicare and Medicaid programs. <br> <br> Officials accepted a corrective action plan provided by Visiting Nurse Health System. <br> <br> But the health insurance specialist for the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services -- Bill Blanton -- says the nonprofit agency still must correct serious problems with nursing services and record keeping. <br> <br> Federal inspectors had questioned several cases of inadequate patient care and incomplete clinical records and threatened to eliminate funding for the company that provides care to more than 20,000 patients a year in 26 Georgia counties. <br> <br> Visiting Health Health System Care had been given a deadline of Saturday to provide the plan.
