Medicare Home Health Benefits

Medicare Home Health Benefits cover medically necessary services provided in a patient's home. This includes skilled nursing care, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology, among other services. To qualify, patients must be homebound and under a doctor's care with a care plan. Medicare typically covers these services if they are intermittent and short-term, helping patients recover after illness, surgery, or during chronic conditions. It’s important to check specific eligibility requirements and ensure services are provided by a Medicare-certified home health agency to receive coverage.
