Medicare
• The Home Health staff member will need to see your Medicare card.
• To be eligible for Medicare coverage, you must require at least one
qualifying skilled service such as: nursing, physical therapy or speech
therapy. Generally, the Medicare program pays in full for services that are
medically necessary for homebound persons and listed as covered services by
this federal insurance program.
• Home Health accepts Medicare as full payment for services. The
Medicare beneficiary has no financial responsibility if eligibility for
home care under the Medicare program has been established.
• If services not covered by the Medicare program are necessary, the patient
will be notified by the agency that arrangements need to be made. If payment
for these non-covered services constitutes a hardship for the patient, this
must be discussed at the time financial arrangements are being agreed upon
to determine if an adjustment can be made.
