Who Qualifies for Medicare Home Health?

Medicare beneficiaries may qualify for skilled home health services when:
 
  • They are enrolled in Medicare Part A and/or Part B
  • They are under the care of a physician or allowed practitioner
  • A physician/practitioner has ordered home health services and established a plan of care
  • They need intermittent skilled nursing, physical therapy, speech therapy, or continued occupational therapy
  • They are considered homebound, meaning leaving home requires considerable effort and support
Our team works closely with referring providers to confirm eligibility and ensure the plan of care aligns with your clinical goals.
