I agree with Tara... I had to do home phototherapy with my first and it was
done through one of the local hospital's home health department.  Once the
doc wrote the prescription for it, they contacted the home health department
who looked into my insurance (which covered it completely).  They were
really quick and arranged to meet me at home an hour after I was discharged
from the hospital.  The home health nurse then came daily to do assessments
and check bilirubin levels and I visited the outpatient pediatrician in
between.  In all, we only had to do about 2 or 3 days of therapy.
