FAQ

Private duty nursing provides specialized, one-on-one medical care to patients in their homes or healthcare facilities by a Registered Nurse (RN) or Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). Unlike non-medical caregiving, private duty nursing focuses on managing complex, short-term or long-term medical needs through personalized, continuous clinical attention.

Yes, with conditions. While California’s LVN regulations can seem conflicting, the governing statutes are clear: LVNs are permitted to work as independent contractors in private in‑home care when practicing under required physician or RN direction. The laws below establish this authority:

California Business & Professions Code § 2859
“The practice of vocational nursing… is practiced under the direction of a licensed physician and surgeon or registered nurse… A vocational nurse… engages in vocational nursing… for compensation or personal profit.”

https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?sectionNum=2859.&highlight=true&lawCode=BPC&keyword=compensation+or+personal+profit 

California Code of Regulations, Title 16, § 2518.7
“Private duty services are contracted directly between the nurse and the patient… A licensed vocational nurse (LVN) must provide private duty nursing services under the direction of a registered nurse… and/or the patient’s physician… The direction provided… must be available at least by telephone.”

Under California law, LVNs are legally permitted to: 

• Provide private duty services in patient homes under physician/RN direction.

• Accept referrals directly from doctors or hospitals.

• Coordinate with each patient’s physician to ensure care is physician-directed.

• Contract directly with patients/families for compensation.

• Utilize remote physician or RN oversight, such as via telephone.

• LVNs cannot operate as a licensed home health agency without state licensure.

• LVNs cannot independently diagnose, prescribe, or independently create treatment plans.

• LVNs cannot bill Medicare/Medi-Cal directly; reimbursement requires agency licensure.

No. Private-duty nursing is NOT home health agency care.

• Physician/RN direction documented for every patient

• Care aligned with physician orders

• Communication logs maintained

• No diagnosis or treatment planning

• No Medicare/Medi‑Cal billing
