At Angel Home Healthcare, based in Mesquite, Texas, we pride ourselves on providing top-quality, Medicare-certified home health services to the greater Dallas-Fort Worth region. For those who qualify, Medicare pays 100% for these essential services. But what exactly does it take to qualify for this coverage? Let’s break down the requirements.
Who Qualifies for Medicare-Certified Home Health Coverage?
- Homebound Status: To qualify for Medicare to pay 100% for home health services, the patient must be homebound. This means that leaving home requires the assistance of another person of the use of an assistive device. Leaving home must require a considerable and taxing effort, such that trips away from the home are infrequent and short. Patients may leave home for medical treatment or short, infrequent absences for non-medical reasons, such as attending religious services.
- Under a Doctor’s Care: The patient must be under a doctor’s care and receiving services under a plan of care established and reviewed regularly by a doctor. This plan is critical for ensuring that the home health care provided is directly related to the patient’s medical condition.
- Skilled Need: The patient must need skilled nursing care on an intermittent basis or therapy services (physical, or speech). Skilled need refers to services that require the skills of qualified technical or professional personnel, such as registered nurses or physical therapists.
- Intermittent Need: The services required must be on an intermittent basis, which generally means they are needed for fifteen to thirty-minute visits, a few times per week (with some exceptions).
