Medicare Home Health
Home Health Aide alongside the skilled plan of care.
Medicare-covered HHA support alongside a skilled plan of care: bathing, grooming, feeding, and ambulation help from certified aides.
Medicare-covered home health aide services are different from private home care, and getting the two confused is one of the most common reasons families end up frustrated. Medicare HHA support exists to round out a skilled plan of care: when a patient is already receiving nursing or therapy under Medicare, the aide can come in for personal care alongside that.
If the patient needs help with bathing, cooking, transportation, or companionship outside of a Medicare home health episode, that's private-duty home care, not Medicare HHA. We'll warm-hand you to our sister company #1 Home Care Services for that. Same family, no cold transfer, no surprise charge.
How to start
From referral to first visit.
- 1
A physician, hospital case manager, or family member sends us the referral. The clock starts the moment it lands.
- 2
Our intake team verifies Medicare benefits the same day and confirms homebound status. Traditional Medicare moves immediately. Medicare Advantage takes a little longer because of prior authorization.
- 3
We complete the welcome call and coordinate scheduling for the start-of-care visit, usually the next day for traditional Medicare patients.
- 4
The clinician completes a full evaluation, starts care, and walks the home for fall risks. By the time they leave, the rest of the schedule is on the calendar.
