Will Medicare Cover Home Health Care for Seniors and Older Persons?

 Medicare does cover home health care for eligible elderly people. Medicare is a federal health insurance program that provides coverage for a range of medical services, including home health care services. To be eligible for Medicare coverage of home health care, patients must meet certain requirements, including a physician's order for home health care, being homebound, requiring skilled nursing care or therapy services, and receiving care from a Medicare-certified home health agency. Additionally, Medicare may cover certain medical equipment and supplies that are needed for home health care services. It's important to note that while Medicare may cover home health care services, there may be limitations on the duration and frequency of these services. Patients should speak with their physician and their Medicare provider to determine their eligibility and coverage for home health care services.
