WHO QUALIFIES FOR CARE?

The qualifications for Medicare home health care are:

• A patient must be under the care of a physician who has ordered treatment or services we provide

• A patient has had a recent illness, injury or change in a condition which requires skilled care

• A patient is homebound.  A patient shall be considered homebound if they have a condition, due to illness or injury, that restricts their ability to leave home without the assistance of another person or the aid of a device (i.e. walker, cane, wheelchair) or if they have a condition that is medically contraindicated for leaving home.
