Is home health covered by Medicare? The answer is, yes! Medicare covers home health 100% with no co-pay or secondary insurance needed. If you or a loved one could use the help of a nurse or therapist, home health may be the right choice.
To qualify for home health care, you or your loved one must have a medical need for the skilled services of a nurse or therapist and meet Medicare’s definition of homebound. Homebound means that because of illness or injury, you need the aid of supportive devices such as wheelchairs, special transportation, or the assistance of another person in order to leave the home, or have a condition (such as CHF) that medically contraindicates leaving the home. You are normally unable to leave home and doing so requires taxing effort. Home health patients are often temporarily homebound while they are recovering from injury or illness.
If you meet these qualifications, Medicare pays 100% of allowable charges. This means no co-pay, deductible, or other out-of-pocket expenses related to home health services.
We bring many services found in hospitals and facilities right to your living room. Our healthcare professionals include skilled nurses, physical therapists, and more.
