Medicare is a federal health insurance program that provides coverage for people who are 65 or older, certain younger people with disabilities, and people with End-Stage Renal Disease. Medicare has many different parts, including Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Part B (Medical Insurance). In this blog post, we will focus on Part A and how it relates to home care.
Part A of Medicare covers inpatient care in a hospital, skilled nursing facility, or hospice. Part A also covers some home health services. In order to be eligible for Part A coverage, a person must be 65 or older and a US citizen or have been legally residing in the US for at least five years. If you are under 65, you may still be eligible for Part A coverage if you have a disability or End-Stage Renal Disease.
Part A coverage includes:
- Inpatient care in a hospital
- Skilled nursing care
- Hospice care
- Some home health services
To learn more about what Part A of Medicare covers, visit the Medicare website.
Now that we have reviewed what Part A of Medicare covers, let's take a look at how this might relate to home care. Part A of Medicare covers skilled nursing care and some home health services. This means that if you need home care services from a nurse or therapist, Part A of Medicare may help cover the cost.
It's important to remember that each insurance plan is different, so be sure to check with your specific insurance provider to see what home care services are covered.
