Medicare Qualification Criteria

P.A.C.E. Health Care, Inc. works with Medicare to ensure our patients get the right home health care and attention they need. However, to qualify for home health care, patients must meet certain qualifications approved by Medicare. Please review the following.

1. The physician must decide the patient requires medical care at home and create a plan for the patient’s care at home.

2. The patient must require at least one of the following: intermittent skilled nursing care, or physical therapy, or speech-language therapy, or continue to need occupational therapy.

3. The home health agency caring for the patient must be approved by the Medicare program (Medicare-certified).

4. The patient must be homebound, or normally unable to leave home unassisted. To be homebound means that leaving home takes considerable and taxing effort. A person may leave home for medical treatment or short, infrequent absences for non-medical reasons, such as a trip to the barber or to attend religious service. A need for adult day care doesn’t withhold the patient from qualifying home health care.
