We've Got Answers.
Medicare covers home health services for beneficiaries who are homebound, at risk for future hospitalizations, and need assistance with activities of daily living (bathing, toileting, continence, dressing, eating, transferring).
Medicare considers a person homebound if both of these statements are true:
- You rarely leave home and when you do, it's just for short appointments or special events.
- Leaving home is difficult due to shortness of breath, pain, limited stamina, or other reasons.
And one of these statements is true:
- You require an assistive device (e.g., wheelchair, walker, crutches, cane), special transportation, or personal assistance to leave home due to illness/injury.
- Their doctor has recommended that you not leave home because of their condition.
No, hospice is specifically for end-of-life care. Patients are referred to hospice when they’re not expected to live more than 6 months, and their care is mainly palliative or “comfort” care. Home health care is for patients who may continue to live for years as long as they receive the care and treatments prescribed for them. However, if you believe your loved one would be better served by hospice services, we are happy to connect you to our hospice partners.
Home Health vs. Home Care
Home health is different from home care, in that it includes care tasks that require more medical training than the care tasks provided in home care. For example, home health aides can monitor vital signs, administer medications, and care for wounds, catheters, and ostomies. Home care aides aren’t allowed to perform those kinds of care tasks, Instead, they provide “custodial care” which may include help with activities of daily living, driving to appointments, running errands, and providing companionship.
So while a home health aide can take on some of the more medical care tasks, the person receiving care may still need a family caregiver or home care aide to provide the home care tasks they need help with.
Skilled Services
Home health aides are overseen by a skilled nurse; home care aides are not. And care provided by home health aides is only offered in conjunction with skilled services like:
- Skilled nursing care
- Physical, occupational, or speech therapy
- Medical social services
Home health care services can also include:
- Patient and caregiver education
- Assistance with daily activities (bathing, dressing, grooming) by home health aides when combined with skilled care
- Intravenous or nutrition therapy, injections, and other medical treatments
Original Medicare (Parts A and B) fully covers medically-necessary home health services for eligible patients. Medicare Advantage plans (Part C) are required to cover the same services as Original Medicare, but they may charge a copay, and you may need prior authorization for care.
