Medicare does cover Home Health Care, BUT only if: its ordered by a Medicare approved physician AND the person in incapable of leaving the home AND services are rendered by a Medicare approved provider AND the person requires more than just assistance with activities of daily living (eating, bathing, dressing, toileting, functional mobility). Medicare will not pay for services performed by immediate relatives or members of a patient’s household. Medicare does not pay for Assisted Living or Adult Day Care. If these conditions are met, Medicare will generally cover medical services in the home as ordered by a Medicare approved physician.
