For our Medicare clients:
As a result of the Prospective Payment System, any Medicare patient who is under the care of a home health agency must receive supplies and certain Medicare Part B services by the home health provider or their contractor. Please call for details. For more information, visit Medicare's website, view Medicare's Home Health Booklet (PDF Format).
Services furnished under Medicare have specific criteria which must be met in order for services to be covered and may differ from state to state.
Medicare requires that a physician certify that a patient is confined to his/her home. A homebound patient is one who is confined to the home. Generally speaking, a patient will be considered homebound if he/she has a condition due to an illness or injury that restricts his/her ability to leave his/her place of residence. Absences from the home must be infrequent and of a short duration. These absences may include absences for medical treatment and/or services at an adult day care that is licensed or certified by the State, or accredited, to furnish adult day care services.
Medicare services may only be rendered with the specific orders (prescription) of a physician. This would also require a qualifying diagnosis. As of January 1, 2011, Medicare will require the client to have a face to face visit with a physician or his/her designate prior to start of services or no later than 30 days from start of care.
Medicare only allows for home health aide services when a qualifying service is being rendered. This would include Skilled nursing, Psychiatric nursing, or Speech and/or Physical therapy.
In the State of Florida, patients who reside in an assisted living facility are eligible for home health care services, so long as the assisted living facility does NOT provide those services.
Patients who reside in a skilled nursing facility are not eligible for home health care services under Medicare. In most cases, these facilities already provide a similar service.
