Referral Guidelines
Medicare covers home health services for individuals who are confined to their homes and in need of skilled nursing care on an intermittent basis or physical therapy, speech-language pathology, or where they have a continuing need for occupational therapy. To qualify for coverage, a patient must be under the care of a physician who certifies the need for care and that the individual is confined to his home.
A recent change in the law adds a new requirement to qualify for Medicare coverage. To encourage greater involvement of the physician in a patient’s home health care services, a new law requires that the patient be seen face-to-face by the physician, or certain non-physician practitioners working with the physician, before home health services start or soon thereafter.
