Medicare: Does Medicare pay for home health care?

Health care in retirement starts with Medicare, but Medicare is not where it ends. The fact is Medicare will only pay for a very specific and limited amount of home health care benefits.
We will go over what Medicare will cover, what they won’t, and other options you have to pay for home health care!

So true

[@Nottoday3033]

Doesn’t make any sense though. How do HHA/CNA businesses get paid through Medicare for aDL services?

[@mazukfilho1270]

Hey, quick question: if a home care agency accepts medicaid, does medicaid provide us with their clients with the return of our caregivers services or do we still need to go out there to find clients for medicaid program? your videos are really helpful to me! Thank you

I just turned 65 and they're sent me up on Medicaid. Friend of mine lost their house to cover the nursing home bill. I don't want that to happen to me

[@CardinalAdvisors]

Are you on Medicaid or Medicare?

[@sidneywhite749]

You need a supplement with Medicare.

I live in Florida and will need a knee replacement in 2023. I live alone and have no family. How can I determine what help Medicare will provide to me post op? Does the length of the hospital stay affect my options.

[@CardinalAdvisors]

Most likely they will send you home instead of re-hab. Medicare will most likely pay for some home health visits. No way to know in advance

Sidney, usually physical therapy is ordered immediately after your procedure, then see you once or twice before you go home. Home health care will have ordered physical therapy for you and they usually work with you 4-6 weeks. This is pretty standard. You also be assessed for any more services like Nursing and and other disciplines until 4-6 weeks. Medicare wants to ensure you have reached a maximum level of independence usually less than 8 weeks.

@@nereidaenriquez5602 I want to go home after operation and have home health, etc.

[@nereidaenriquez5602]

Sidney, they may ask you simply because you mentioned there’s no one in the family close to that can be there in an emergency. Do you have emergency button for around your neck? You may additionally get help to pay for monthly service to obtain one. Very good for people that live alone. Nelly
