Who Is Eligible for Home Health?
You may qualify for Medicare-covered Home Health if:
- Leaving home isn’t easy for you—you may only go out occasionally for things like medical appointments, religious services, or short outings.
- You need skilled support at home, such as nursing care, physical therapy, speech therapy, or help regaining daily function through occupational therapy.
- You’ve had a recent in-person visit with your doctor or healthcare provider to assess your need for home health care.
- You’re under a doctor’s care and have a personalized care plan designed to help you heal or manage your condition at home.
