How Medicare Home Health Works
Medicare may cover eligible home health services when its requirements are met. Project Health can discuss the patient’s needs and explain the next step, but coverage decisions depend on Medicare rules and the required clinical documentation.
What Medicare May Look For
These requirements may be reviewed before home health services can begin.
Patient Eligibility
The patient’s Medicare status and eligibility for the home health benefit may need to be confirmed.
Skilled Clinical Need
The patient must need appropriate part-time or intermittent skilled care related to an illness or injury.
Homebound Status and Documentation
Medicare’s homebound criteria and supporting clinical documentation may apply.
Provider Order and Care Plan
A qualified health care provider must order the care, and an appropriate plan of care is required.
