Medicare defines Home Health as short-term care provided by skilled nurses and therapists where a patient calls home. The purpose of Home Health is to help a patient rehabilitate after a serious health event, regain independence, stay physically safe, and become as self-sufficient as possible. Home Health is designed to reduce unnecessary hospitalizations and save Medicare costs.
Home Health services are 100% covered for beneficiaries under the Original Medicare plan. Medicare Advantage and Commercial Insurance plans often cover Home Health, too. However, coverage varies by plan. Reliant at Home has a team of experts who will call the insurance plan provider and communicate coverage eligibility and authorization to the patient or family.
Home Health requires an order from a physician who certifies the reason why care at home by a skilled nurse or therapist is necessary.
