Medicare home health rules in Lighthouse Point
Medicare-covered home health usually starts with a provider order and a plan of care. The patient must generally need part-time or intermittent skilled services, meet homebound criteria, and use a Medicare-certified home health agency.
Medicare does not usually pay for 24-hour care at home, meal delivery, unrelated homemaker services, or personal care when that is the only care needed.
