Does Medicare cover home health care?
To receive Medicare coverage for health care services in your home, the following conditions must be met:
- You are enrolled in Medicare
- You are seeing a doctor for the condition that requires home care services
- Your doctor says you need intermittent skilled nursing care, physical therapy, speech therapy or occupational therapy because of an illness or injury
- You’ve seen a physician within the last 90 days or within 30 days of the start of home health care services, or you’ve been seen in an acute or post-acute setting by a physician who has admitting and treating privileges in that location
- Your physician certifies that you are homebound, meaning you cannot leave your home due to your injury or illness, or that leaving your home is a taxing effort that requires assistance
If these criteria are met, Medicare may cover intermittent or part-time care. Generally, the care must be provided fewer than seven days a week, or fewer than eight hours a day. If requested by your doctor, Medicare may cover some exceptions for additional care.
