Frequently Asked Questions
1. Are home health care services
covered by health insurances?
Many health insurance carriers have a home health benefit
covered under the major medical portion of the policy or
prescription benefit. Some choose a home health care company
that their members must use in order to be covered for services,
while others do not restrict which home health care company
their members use. Contact us with your policy and group
number so that we may contact your insurance company for
your specific benefits.
2. What services does Medicare cover?
Medicare covers intermittent skilled nursing, physical therapy,
speech-language pathology, occupational therapy, medical
social worker and home health aide services in patients'
homes when certain criteria is met. When services meet all
the Medicare coverage criteria, Medicare pays for covered
home health services at 100% without deductible or coinsurance.
St. Louis Home Health can explain the Medicare requirements
in detail as they apply to your situation.
