Home health care is skilled nursing in the home. Medicare pays 100% for home health services under the following conditions:
1) The doctor MUST certify the care.
2) The patient MUST be homebound (can go to church, etc. but MUST be a taxing effort to leave the home).
3) The home health care agency must be Medicare certified.
4) There MUST be a skilled nursing service required...not just "sitter service" or "nanny service". Wound care, physical therapy, speech therapy all are skilled nursing services.
For more information about home health care, go to www.cms.gov or nahc.org for details.
