Medicare coverage for home health care can be confusing. We break down exactly what's covered, what's not, and how to get the most from your benefits.
What Medicare Part A covers
Medicare Part A covers medically necessary home health care if you are homebound and need skilled nursing or therapy services.
What Medicare does NOT cover
Medicare does not cover 24/7 home care, personal care assistance only (without skilled nursing), or meal delivery.
How to maximize your benefits
Work with your doctor to document medical necessity and ensure your home health agency is Medicare-certified.
