FAQ
Common questions
Is skilled nursing at home covered by Medicare?
Medicare may cover skilled nursing at home when care is medically necessary, ordered by a physician, and the patient meets home health eligibility requirements. Coverage is determined by Medicare based on the individual's situation.
Do I need a doctor's order for skilled nursing?
Yes. Home health skilled nursing requires a physician/provider order and a face-to-face encounter that confirms the patient meets home health criteria.
What conditions can a home health nurse help with?
Common needs include post-hospital recovery, complex chronic conditions, wound care, medication management, IV therapy when ordered, and clinical monitoring after surgery or illness.
How long does in-home nursing last?
Episodes are individualized based on the patient's needs and progress. Your nurse re-evaluates regularly and updates the plan with the ordering physician.
