Does Medicare Cover Home Health?
Yes — Medicare does cover home health care, but only under specific conditions.
Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) may cover intermittent home health services if all of the following are true:
A doctor certifies that home health care is medically necessary
You are considered homebound
Services are provided by a Medicare-approved home health agency
Care is short-term and intermittent (not ongoing custodial care)
What Medicare typically covers:
Skilled nursing care (part-time)
Physical, occupational, or speech therapy
Medical social services (limited)
Some medical supplies related to care
What Medicare does not cover:
24/7 home care
Long-term custodial care (help with bathing, dressing, eating)
Ongoing personal care if it’s the only care needed

Why Home Health Coverage Feels So Confusing
Many people are surprised to learn that:
Medicare home health coverage is limited
Coverage rules are strict
Benefits can change depending on diagnosis and care needs
This often leads to:
Unexpected out-of-pocket costs
Confusion after a hospital stay
Stress for family members and caregivers
If you or a loved one needs help at home, it’s normal to wonder:
“Is there a better option?”
In some areas, yes.
Certain Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans may offer additional benefits beyond Original Medicare, which can include:
In-home support services
Caregiver assistance
Transportation to medical appointments
Meal programs
Other supplemental benefits
⚠️ These benefits:
Vary by plan and county
Are not guaranteed
Have eligibility requirements
That’s why speaking with a licensed Medicare advisor matters.
