Rights & Benefits Information
Medicare and Home Health Care (continued from previous page) provided by a Medicare-certified home health agency (HHA). Durable medical equipment (DME): Medicare pays 80% of its approved amount for certain pieces of medical equipment, such as a wheelchair or walker. You pay a 20% coinsurance charge as long as your home health agency accepts Medicare’s approved amount for your DME item as payment in full. Medicare’s home health benefit does not cover: • 24-hour a day care at home • Prescription drugs (enroll in a Part D plan if you need prescription drugs) • Meals delivered to your home. • Homemaker services, called “custodial care.” (However, home health aides may perform some homemaker services, such as light housekeeping, when visiting to provide other health related services.) What if I have a Medicare Advantage Plan? Your plan must provide at least the same level of home health care coverage as Original Medicare, but it may impose different rules, restrictions, and costs. Call your Medicare Advantage Plan to learn more. Depending on your plan you may need to: • Get care from an HHA that contracts with your plan. • Request prior authorization or a referral before receiving home health care. • Pay a copayment for your care.
