Medicare Guidelines for Home Health Care
Medicare will pay for health care services provided in a patient’s
residence
only if all of these conditions are met:
Patient is eligible for Medicare benefits
Patient needs intermittent skilled nursing or physical therapy or occupational
or speech therapy
Patient must meet homebound criteria (see definition below)
Homebound Status Defined
A homebound person is defined as one who requires considerable effort and
assistance to leave home and needs care on an intermittent basis.
Patients may be considered homebound if absences from the home are:
Infrequent
For periods of relatively short duration, or
Attributable to the need to receive medical treatment including attendance
at a psychosocial or medical day treatment program accredited, licensed
or certified by the state
Patients with a psychiatric disease or condition may be considered homebound
even if their physical ability is unimpaired, when certain conditions are met.
Generally a beneficiary will be considered to be homebound if he/she has
a condition:
Due to an illness or injury which restricts the ability to leave home except
with the aid of supportive devices (crutch, cane, wheelchair, walker)
special transportation, or another person
That is such that leaving his/her home is medically contraindicated
Patient is under the care of a doctor who:
Determines the need for home care is medically necessary and medically
reasonable
Sets up and periodically reviews a home health agency plan of care
The home health agency serving the patient is approved for payment by the
Medicare program
When in doubt about homebound status, call our intake staff and they will
be able to assist you!
