Verify My Medicare CoverageMedicare is a federal health insurance program primarily for individuals 65 and older. Certain younger individuals may also qualify if they have a documented disability and have received Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits for 24 months, or if they have specific medical conditions that meet Medicare's eligibility criteria.
Medicare can cover home health services ordered by a physician, including skilled nursing care, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and other intermittent skilled services provided in the home — designed to support recovery, promote safety, and help patients remain comfortable at home.
Patients must meet Medicare's homebound requirements, meaning leaving home requires considerable effort due to their medical condition. Services are provided according to an individualized plan of care developed by the patient's physician and implemented by a team of qualified healthcare professionals.
For many patients, home health care begins following a hospital stay, rehabilitation admission, or significant change in health status. Prior to discharge, hospital case managers and physicians coordinate referrals to a Medicare-certified home health agency like CCS, where a skilled clinician conducts a comprehensive assessment and develops a personalized care plan.
To receive Medicare-covered home health services, a patient generally needs to meet all of the following criteria:
Leaving home requires a considerable and taxing effort — such as needing a cane, wheelchair, walker, or another person’s help.
The patient needs skilled nursing care, physical therapy, speech therapy, or occupational therapy on a part-time or intermittent basis.
A doctor, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant must certify the need for home health and create a plan of care. We can help coordinate this.
The home health agency must be approved by Medicare. Commonwealth Clinical Services is fully Medicare-certified.
